Actually, this goes back farther than that. A theme, and Chuck's ultimate goal, was to get the Intersect out of his head and have the life he wants with the girl he loves. He expresses it several times, and each ...

Sarah couldn't be with Chuck because she was a spy, his handler, and he was an asset. No more Intersect in Chuck's head, ...

Sarah is still a spy, and she knows it. That's her life. She's only ever been someone else.
By the Ring, everything is set for Chuck. No more Intersect, no more obstacles, and to boot, ...

He catches Sarah in the hall at the church. They're beautiful; the scene is beautiful. He's telling her he finally has everything he's ever wanted. He doesn't know what he wants to do with his life, but he wants her in it. (sharp inhale) He's ...

This is finally it. This is the moment we've been waiting to hear for two years. He continues, "... of taking a vacation with me," and smiles that Chuck smile. Sarah ...

She's leaving the next morning to work on the Intersect project ... with Bryce.
Not only did she choose the spy life over him (after this has been building and being encouraged), she's going with Bryce.
Now, other events transpire, they defeat the bad ...

We know she changes her mind, but Chuck doesn't know that. It's not until Bryce tells him, as he's dying (whole other tangled mess of emotional baggage for Chuck there), but there's no time for Chuck to process the ...

He has to take care of the Intersect and the bad guys.
The next thing we know (chronologically) is they're back in Castle, Casey tells him he can be a "real spy," and Sarah asks him to run away with her. He gets 3 weeks at the training facility and then is the ...

I've already given my take of he feels/she feels plus background here, but Chuck tries explaining in the courtyard at the end of Pink Slip. He'd been kicking around "like a loser," and says, "then one day really important ...

He starts, "It was never about you," when she abruptly stops him. She's not ready to hear that, to hear anything about it, and she's told by Beckman that she's the one that has to keep Chuck's emotions in check to ...

They both chose duty, at different times, but they both did. Chuck didn't choose Prague for an exciting spy life; he chose it because at heart, before the Intersect and Sarah, he's a difference-maker - a hero. He just didn't have the opportunity ...
