Trust is a huge issue in relationships but I disagree that Olicity (at the moment) is facing a trust crisis. I don't see Oliver not informing Felicity a matter of him not trusting her, quite the contrary. If there's a question of trust in their relationship it's Felicity not trusting Oliver that should be brought to the forefront here. Of course we'll never see any mature handling of a romantic relationship here on the CW but not giving Oliver time to breathe, let alone decide if he wishes to divulge the information he just discovered, is flat out spinning his actions completely out of context for the sake of melodrama.
If I go by my heart then Oliver lying is well-intentioned and for the good of somebody therefore I give him the benefit of the doubt. If I go by what my mind tells me then I have to give Oliver some leeway because lying is such a pivotal part of his survival that he can't just stop because he's now found the girl of his dreams and his soulmate. Either way I'll side with Oliver unless the lie is truly some huge thing that is simply unforgivable, until then every time Felicity wants to break up with him over his lies I'll see her as trying to blame a failed relationship on Oliver instead of admitting he's not the man she thought he was.
