It hurt that he still didn’t trust her.
But he did tell her everything he knows about Luthor.
It hurt that he thought so little of her that he would even think she would consider Lex’s proposal.
Well, she hadn't said no, what was he supposed to think?
It hurt that he hadn’t even listened to what she had come there to say.
Well, she did give up on even trying to restart. The one time her being stubborn and barreling ahead would have helped she didn't.
She knew she had blown Clark’s proposal out of proportion, but he started it!
Now she is just being petty.
Trying to fix her life, her problem with Lex, with a marriage proposal.
Well, she had said that Lex offered a possibly once-in-a-life-time prospect. What else was he supposed to think.
Lois had thought Clark had realized this, but he was acting just as bad as Lex.
That is totally unfair. He was scared and in shock and really worried, especially since she said the proposal opened up a great prospect.
Why did Clark always assume that she didn’t love him?
Because actions speak louder than words, and when her actions are to hide anything with him, and publicly admit only a connection with Lex, it hurts.
That was where he jumped to first, every time.
No one else has ever loved him, why would Lois be any different?
Why couldn’t he believe that she would love him and only him until the end of time?
Because she broke up with him, refused to acknowledged their relationship, and told him to date other women.
Why couldn’t he have the confidence in himself to see that she was doing all this stuff with Luthor to save him from Lex?
Because that makes no sense. Especially because she has never told him what she knows about the L.U.C.
How in the world could Superman have such an underdog complex? It didn’t make sense.
It does when he spend years in foster care, when his parents died on him and such.
Then Lois remembered something she hadn’t consciously thought about over the past month. Clark had been engaged before.
But she was specifically thinking about his fiancée earlier this day.
Clark had been engaged to a woman he had dated for nine years, and who had dumped him practically at the altar.
Finally she is getting the picture. It would make even more sense if she knew about alt-dimension.
A woman who played mean, rotten, nasty mind games on him.
Like what Lois seems to be doing by kissing him while accepting expensive gifts from Lex.
He had finally started to get over that horrible woman with her.
And then she started doing the exact same kinds of things.
And what did Lois do? She played mean, rotten, nasty mind games with him.
Good, she recognizes the similarity.
She had kept their relationship a secret, while going out publicly with another man.
I am surprised it has taken her this long to realize just how hurtful that is. Clark wouldn't do that to allow Lois to date Superman, and he would have gotten the best of both worlds. Although why he didn't just tell her then and there "Lois, it's all one and the same, since I am both Clark Kent and Superman", well, OK, he wanted her to love CK, but he should have realized just how manipulative that was.
Lois pressed the heels of her hands into her eyes. Why had she done that to him?
Good question. She really should have considered the emotional cost of this absurd plan.
So she is the proud one. Does that mean Clark exemplifies prejudice, or is Lois exemplifying both emotions. On another note, Jane Austen fans everywhere wish Pride and Prejudice was this long.
She needed to prove to herself, to the world, that even without superpowers, she was able to bring down the biggest bad guy out there, one who had even fooled her.
But why? She has 3 Kerth Awards, the last won after Clark showed up.
She had wanted to show that she was just as good, if not better, than the Man of Steel. She had been selfish.
Now that she realizes this, I wish she would give up this stupid investigation.
Because once Lois had learned that Clark was also Superman, she had brushed aside everything that had taken her months to learn about Clark and assumed he could take it.
She has not really internalized anything he has told her.
She had forgotten that deep under that suit of blue was a damaged and lonely soul still in need of healing, in need of love.
This is why he should have told her, because then he could have reemphazied to her that what he has told her about his past is true.
that he has not managed to tell her that.
