I'd say bearded dragons are the best beginner lizard since they tolerate being handled a little better than other lizards.
Just make sure you don't use sand as the base for the tank and make sure you do a lot of research before getting it because the people at petsmart and petco don't know shit about the animals they sell.

Speaking of, look for a breeder in your area to buy from as well. The lizard will be a little more expensive but it's worth it because it will be less likely to die early from a disease rather than one you pickup in a pet store

Don't buy anything before discussing this with your husband. Reptiles vary considerably in the amount of care and space required so it's really important you're both on board with whatever will be needed for the species chosen. Since he has previous reptile experience he will probably have something in mind anyway.

Mangrove Snake. They're cheap, easy to handle, and a lot of fun.

This. Don't surprise anyone with a pet, that's shitty, especially since most lizards live for 15 or more years. It's not fair to the person or the animal to force that sort of commitment.

I see what you did there

Second this, but when you do discuss a leopard gecko would be a pretty good lizard to start with

OP's husband has had snakes and turtles before, so it's not unreasonable. He'll likely appreciate that his wife thinks he can handle the next step up in reptile keeping. What will he think of her if she gives him another fucking leopard gecko? Get a Boiga if you respect your spouse.

Owning a cornsnake and a red eared slider does not prepare one for a mangrove.

Heloderma suspectum or Varanus komodoensis. They're known by the herp community as the "golden retriever" and "saint bernard" of reptiles respectively.

Then OP needs to break up if she can't give her husband the respect he deserves. It's obviously not working out.
