Good advice from TwinDad... just one refinement i would suggest:

I would personally suggest going further; if he says something, to validate and acknowlege what he said. eg: "After thinking about things, I came to realize that you were right about me [not disciplining the kids enough/....]. "
If he notices, he may just keep silent about it. If he notices and ASKS, however, I think that in your husband's specific case, he would be looking for validation from you.
