Actually, Eren met Yelena in private around 10-11 months before now. Pixis said so, when the railroad was finished that Floch, who happens to be a Yeagerist, had been her watcher and had deliberately slacked off on his job to let them meet. By that time, I do think Eren would've had the foresight and thought to think of this on his own. As for the reason why he's not telling the others anything, Armin obviously figured it out, and it is in some way tied to the day they first saw the ocean, when Eren asked whether killing all their enemies on the other side would finally set them free. I've been brainstorming myself over this; it's obviously a clue but I still can't figure it out.

That's actually the moment I'm talking about. At the time Eren met Yelena in private (when she convinced Floch to take her to him), Eren didn't know Yelena well at all. He wouldn't have known what an extremist she was since she hadn't opportunity to demonstrate just how far she was willing to go.
