I'm really sorry, but I can't help but see Clark as offering a relationship with Lois under false premises. I don't care how he's justifying the situation. What Lois is saying doesn't count because she does not know the truth yet. If she knows the truth, and is still willing to risk all to be with Superman, that's a different story.
I don't know why Clark's prepared to have a relationship with Lois as Superman. All the arguments as to why Superman cannot have a relationship still holds, even if "Clark" is no longer a factor or not.
The writing is wonderful as always, but I think I'm going to stop reading until this story finishes. If I read on right now, my dislike for this Clark Kent will be dragged on for weeks in real time, while waiting for a new part.
My problem is that I become involved personally, whether it's watching the character on TV or reading it. :p
