Except in the
Daedalus novel.

But even that was extenuating circumstances; the woman's husband was a walking vegetable, and Trip was rather
in extremis both physically and emotionally. The book also did imply that neither of them really considered it appropriate behavior; it was just "one of those things" that sometimes happens.

So, canon issue aside, I think WG's point stands. I can't see Trip seriously considering a relationship with T'Pol as long as she's married, especially given that she married Koss
despite being involved with Trip (and the dialogue in "Home" prior to the marriage indicates they are involved). No matter what the excuse or circumstances, that had to have been a blow to some part of his ego.
