    So you think after a few years teaching at the academy, his wife and kids move out and all he has left are his students?

    Yeah that probably tracks. Those students probably don’t give him the respect he deserves either, and he probably hates not being out in the field.

      Nah. I like to think after both you and your wife have been possessed by malicious aliens (on separate occasions), you end up staying together. Then again, what do I know? I’ve never been married.

      Also he’s so good with the younger engineers on DS9 I think even at the academy the kids would respect and look up to him.

        I dunno. He has a lot of load that can get in the way, and the trauma of abandoning a child that never existed can disrupt a marriage.
