Um yeah have some problems with this link. I will agree Felicity is going to learn a lot about herself and have growth here too, but this is just another way of making Felicity the problem. She does not have a pattern of walking away lime this person tries to claim. She has stood by Oliver through all kinds of crap. She has loved him more unconditionally than anyone in his life. She's not perfect but she has proven she will be there for him again and again. But she's allowed to take care of herself first. Also of course Oliver trusts her, that's not even a question. And the examples that person gave are not good.

3x01- Oliver broke up with her, why would she not walk away?
3x02- Oliver decided to just die alone in the lair, why would she be okay with that
3x12- Oliver came back from the dead and the first thing he tells her is he wants to partner with the man who tried to destroy the city, caused Tommy's death, and had Thea kill Sara. What the heck else was she supposed to do with that? But she kept working on TA.
4x06- Yes she pulled away a little but Ray being alive threw her for a loop and they ultimately worked through it. This was not a reason for concern.
4x08- That timeline isn't real so it's actually ridiculous to consider this a reason for anything but again he lied about the kid and we didn't get to see what happened after that. Maybe she gathered her thoughts and the would've worked thorough it. We don't know.
4x10- The girl was freaking paralyzed and Oliver hadn't been at the hospital, of course she was freaking out that he might not want her that way. That was in no way shape or form her walking away. She was newly paralyzed and scared!
4x15- He lied about the kid, she had to help save the kid and bottle up her feelings, and then he didn't include her in a huge life decision about the kid. How can anyone expect her to Jair stick around after that?


And all her choices involving Oliver led to growth in him. Especially in season 3. He'd be all depressed still alone in the lair or on the LoA if she hadn't made some of the choices she made last season. She's the one that brought the team back together after Oliver "died". She had issues with her mom but worked though them instead pushing her away and now they are super close. She helped them team behind Oliver's back that's how loyal to them she is. And I just no, can't agree with this link at all. She's not perfect, she needs to grow just like any other person but this stuff about she always walking away or not putting enough into the relationship is just not true. Big nope.
