The speaker sounds trapped in a relationship. It seems this individuals is looking for an opportunity to leave his / her partner when the opportune moment arises. Failsafe could be the instance where the individual identifies reasoning to say both parties are to blame. Thus, the individual feels justified when the failsafe activity occurs to say he / she is not leaving for selfish reasons alone.
Failsafe, then, is a “justified” opportunity / excuse to escape...in this case justified on the imposed presumption of mutual failure.
