pinklight,
an over literal position is one like yours which tries to fit everything into a systematic chronology.
A metaphorical approach is to say this didn’t actually happen.
A literal approach (my view) is to say it is historical fact, but not try and squeeze everything to fit systematically.
Scriptural proof for Eve’s leaving is the semantic range of ‘ha’adam’.
It can mean more than one person. Therefore Gen 3:22ff includes Eve, but the text is addressed to the man as the head.
