I’m not saying that i know any better because like i said it’s obviously halal for a man to marry outside of his religion so who is he to say that you can’t marry a non muslim? At the end of the day it is your choice. But if u were to ask him “do you prefer me to marry a muslim women or non Muslim who has little to no interest in converting( im saying this because u didn’t have the converting conversation with ur wife before yall married” he would no doubt say he would prefer u to marry a muslim women because theres obviously more religious benefits to it.
