Triss did not keep things from Geralt, at least not things that he should have known. She was simply staying loyal to the Lodge, that demanded complete secrecy from all its members. If you notice, the dialogue in the bath scene, there are two options. Geralt saying, "fuck it we are leaving now", or Geralt saying "no I have to stay to clear my name".
I think that's what Triss was trying to do, take Geralt away, while at the same time, cutting her bonds to the Lodge. She even told him about Yennefer on the way to Flotsam. She knew the Kingslayers game was really dangerous, because she knew Sorceresses were involved, and she didn't even have the whole picture at that point. The moment she saw Sile in Flotsam, I believe she got really really scared, I think she thought Sile was sent there to kill/capture Geralt. She even told him, when the witcher went to hunt the Kayran, "don't trust Sile". She just didn't say a word to Geralt about the Lodge, due to loyalty/fear of the Lodge. And because she thought she still had some time, I guess.
In the end, she revealed everything to him, because Geralt had really had enough, and because of Nilfgaards involvement. She is a patriot after all. She could not allow Nilfgaard wreak havoc. So she gave up the Lodge's members, in order to save the rest of the magic community, and the Council. So, at the point that we are now, Triss has given up the Lodge, no matter what happened due to choices. And all she wants is to get Geralt away from Kings, Sorceresses and the upcoming war.
From a relationship point of view, answering to @senteria , I think Triss and Geralt could indeed have a long term relationship, if Geralt actually felt that way about Triss. And yes, Yennefer and Geralt, are likely to break up many times, before they decide that it is meaningless. I think Geralt has come to a point, that he doesn't care about the Path anymore. He doesn't want to be a witcher. He had reached that point, in the final book, and he is at that point now. So did Yennefer, abandon all her ambitions, she got tired of it all. In the books that is. So here is me hoping that they will be fine. The problem I am seeing in Triss' character is this: She knows what Geralt's true feelings are towards her. She knows what Geralt has with Yennefer. And she is willing to sacrifice her happiness, in order for them to be happy. I really wish that aspect of her character is portrayed in the game, even if the players are given the choice to "pick" her.
