In this instance she was simply caught between trying to protect her husband (his privacy) and trying to protect your feelings as well. Sure, maybe she stumbled a little because she was caught off guard, but ultimately it sounds like her intention was to protect.
I can understand your point. She didn't lie to intentionally hurt me. But what I think you're missing is the "honesty first" part. We have agreed to always be honest first, even if honesty hurts. Because we have a strong relationship and can work through it. So if she was trying to protect me, it goes against our agreement still.
