Hi BW2/3

First point: It would sound more natural to say "Was it she or I ..."
Next point: The past perfect (had gone) is definitely not necessary.

I might finish the sentence this way:
"Was it she or I who caused our relationship to go sour."

Regarding your other sentences:

Was it I or she as our relationship had gone sour? (see above)

Was it my fault or hers when our relationship had gone sour? "Was it my fault or hers when our relationship went sour?"

Was it my fault or hers as our relationship had gone sour? "Was it my fault or hers as our relationship went sour?"

You could also say this:

"Was it my fault or hers that our relationship went sour?"
