If possible, try not to hide your partners. They'll feel shame and hurt even if you dont intend to hurt them. I was hidden for 4 years. Yet I publicized the relationship. Obviously I suffer socially so the people who knew me werent mutuals. I was never shown and eventually I dissolved the relationship
The hooded guy is definitely him. There's no way they following each other with the same goal and they aren't the same man. But that means he ends in the loop and wont get her first time
