She didn't break things off because Oliver sent that message, she broke things off because he didn't tell her or trust her with those types of decisions.

If you were in a relationship where crap like that kept happening eventually you would break up with your significant other, as they never inform you of things like that.

Oliver would of instantly rendered this a non-issue if he had simply walked up to Felicity before recording that message and said "I'm thinking about sending my son a video explaining everything, wanna know about it?"

Instead he didn't learn from before and did the thing that put him in this situation to begin with, hitting the thin ice he was on with an explosive arrow because the writers apparently wanted Oliver to be an idiot.
