I was just wondering; how many fics are there in which Superman accidentally blurts out and/or lets slip that he is married, dating, or otherwise involved with a woman?

Three stories that I remember: From Yellow Fever by ML Thompson: "Don't lie to me," the superhero hissed, narrowing his eyes. "This is about my wife, isn't it?" From Good Samaritan by Aria: "Really, honey," he continued, "I'll be fine in a few days. I'm just... very tired."
My jaw tumbled open. Honey. An unexpected word.
Superman had someone he called honey? From Trials of the Heart by Alicia U.: If I had relations with L-, I mean a woman, and she became pregnant, would it hurt her?"
Clark breathed a sigh of relief. He had almost slipped in his fear for Lois' safety. He did think Dr. Klein should know his secret eventually, but now was not the right time.
Dr. Klein heard Superman's slip of the tongue and thought, 'Uh-huh, I knew he had a girlfriend.' If there're more stories on this subject, I would love to read them.  Andreia

From Through the Window by CC Aiken. "And it's come up empty. So now what?"
Clark laughed an empty laugh. "So now I go back to
the Daily Planet, sit at my desk, picture her
waltzing in with the story of the century. 'The Year
I Spent Invisible' by Lois Lane, something like
that."
Henderson looked at Superman for a long time. Long
enough for the silence to bring the superhero back
from his own thoughts.
Their eyes met.
"Oh." Superman said. "Oh..."
Henderson shook his head at him. "Be careful, ok?
Grief is a funny thing. It pops out at you, and not
everyone can afford to let his guard down." That's the only other one that I can think of at the moment. BJ

How about this from Kathy Brown's Momentum ? The police officer ... craned his head to look behind the superhero. "Um, Superman? Your ... cape is ringing."
Eyes widening slightly, Clark quickly reached behind his back and fumbled with the phone which had been clipped to the back of his belt. "Uh, excuse me," he said to the officer, trying not to look as flustered as he felt. "I need to ... take this call." Without waiting for a response, he flew straight up into the air with a whoosh.
(snip)
When Superman landed in the median once again, the officer he'd been talking to studied him for a moment, then grinned knowingly. "Hot date tonight, huh?" he said, eyes twinkling. Only much later did Clark realize how the deep blush which had crossed his face had said more than any words of response ever could have.

It's not something Clark says, but something he forgets to do in A Ring on his Finger by Wendy Richards. A large circle had been drawn around Superman's left hand by a copy-editor, to emphasise the simple item of jewellery on his third finger.
A wedding ring.
<*My* wedding ring> thought Clark with a silent groan.
"How did that happen?" Lois exclaimed in shock, forgetting Perry's presence
as she turned to Clark with an expression of horror on her face.
