Queston about AA, honesty and step 9

Ok, AA is an honesty program....right?

Step nine says make amends except when to do so would harm them or others.

Does that mean it is ok to lie?

example.....cheated on wife but won't tell her how many times or how many women were involved. Tells her he told the truth and is being honest, he cheated and that is all she needs to know. Invokes step 9 whenever it is brought up or discussed. When she asks him if there was more than one person he says no, just one, but indications are VERY strong there were several more. Is it ok for him to lie in this case, invoking step 9????
