It's a play on a common expression, "to get up on the wrong side of the bed". If someone is grumpy you say "did you get up on the wrong side of the bed?".
So I think this person is playing on that.
I think this person is trying to say the other person just left a bad relationship, and is guarded.
That's my best take on it anyway without more context.

The sentence is bad grammar. What I think it meant to say is: the relationship started bad.
