    Spock breaking up with T’pring for Chapel makes me sad. They could have been so good for each other. And I just now realized: Spock never ends up getting married (that we know of).

    Maybe I’m just projecting human emotion, but I feel like that explains some of the more morose/melancholy demeanor seen in his later years. Always put the needs of the many first, even to the very exclusion of his own needs.

      T’pring really did deserve better and honestly I really dislike what Spock did. I feel like if it was any other character in any other show we would see this as a major character flaw. But, because he’s spock we just kind of let it go.

      Unless Spock has another secret brother, he did get married as Picard attended the wedding.

        I did not recall that. Having Googled it, it seems they implied it was Spock, but never explicitly stated it, and never followed up in that later. The only details about it seem to be from a novel, Vulcan’s Heart, where Spock had married Saavik.
