I agree that there is no provision for breaching an oath and understand your interpretation.
However, where I split hairs with you in this matter is more of a spiritual/Biblical point...that when two are joined together in marriage, they become ONE. Arguably, depending on the individual's viewpoint, there need not be a "provision" granted by the fraternity to explain that these two people may now choose to share everything with one another.
*BEFORE YOU ATTACK THIS: I am not saying that this is how it IS or how it MUST BE....just offering this as a different perspective to explain WHY someone may feel that disclosure to a spouse is VERY DIFFERENT from disclosure to anyone else. I am not saying you must agree with this reasoning or accept it...just trying to explain it.*
