Folks,
All sorts of bad things happen because folks think of Lois as Superman's girlfriend.
In the L&C verse Superman gives interviews to Lois and Clark more than anyone else.
Suppose instead that Clark made a point of not giving interviews to Lois, maybe to protect her, maybe to protect his secret. And also made it a point not to interview himself, he still writes stories about himself just never lets Clark Kent be seen to be a friend or even a trusted reporter.
In this 'Verse all interviews are done with reporters in other towns never in Metropolis.
Superman will talk with Henderson but never with Lois Lane, in fact he never lets her within 20 feet and if she is at a Press conference never calls on her. After a few articles and incidents he is careful to never call on a female reporter at a press conference. Shortly there after he begins avoiding the press completely. Everything is 3rd hand. I.E. "Fire Captain Davies told us the man of steel said thus and thus."
