he had an opinion, you told him he was wrong, he changed his opinion to match yours.

I won't comment on your relationship in general as I know nothing about it. I'm just describing what you wrote.

Flip the genders: a man is commenting on the actions of a woman which he deems inappropriate. He asks his wife to confirm. She dares have her own differing opinion. He tells her why she is wrong. She reconsiders and agrees with him that the woman in this scenario was wrong.

What are your thoughts on that? Proud independent wife who doesn't need a man to tell her what to think?
