“Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night’s Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.“

It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife

I think Jon is free on both counts... leaving Night's Watch AND his little fling with Egret, whom he never took as his wife. :)

As far as Daenerys breaking an oath, how could she break an oath she was not aware of, and never pledged herself to?

As the scene with Varys illustrated, that's a matter of perspective. She may or may have been aware of her obligation, but the Dothraki would see it differently.

I don't think she'll be stuck there for long though.

Daenerys was aware of the Dothraki tradition, but she decided to ignore it. As far as I know, she never took an oath to abide by it. So she broke with tradition, but not an oath.
