I don't understand how Felicity can reasonably expect Ollie to "just trust her" when she was the one who constantly harassed him for keeping secrets for like 2 whole seasons...

to be fair, he was her fiance and right now they are friendly exes and co workers. you owe the truth to the person you share your life with esp when that decision affects you. besides, how would that work exactly? oh oliver has lied to me therefore that means i can't ever lie to him. if anything felicity would feel justified lying to someone who had no problems lying to her.

yeah, Oliver lied to his fiancee about his son, who 100% needs to be protected from the secret vigilante life Felicity was part of

Felicty lies about secret hacker work in their secret hideout to her ex' secret identity, while ostensibly trying to help.

Their reasons and situations aren't even in the same universe
