There was no adam, there was no eve, no one hid from anyone and no one who believes in that god believes that it's even remotely possible to hide from that god.
Their innocence and fall is an etiological myth used to describe the then current state of man and mans life as the authors of the myth saw it at the time. It leverages a clever metaphor for puberty and adulthood...which you might have caught, if you read the thing...which is very much about a human coming-of-age.
Ate a "fruit" offered by a talking phallus that their father had forbidden them... and suddenly realized, ashamed, that they were naked together. Then god "cursed" eve with a painful childbirth, and "cursed" adam to a shit job scratching in the dirt through brambles in the face of his unappreciative new wife, and "cursed" them both to leave his house and make their own in an unforgiving wilderness. Teen pregnancies suck. At least he gave them some blankets to cover their shameful bits with before he booted them, I guess. Dad of the Year shit right there.
That your guy, the man you married? I somehow doubt that he treats his wife any better than he treats his children. Are you, as we see you here, also a product of his attention? Why would anyone else want to jump in bed with your boyfriend? I get that you love him....but so what?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
