Opposite Gender Cycling Friends

So I'm a married 40ish woman who loves cycling (might say a bit obsessive). Over the last few years I have gotten better at cycling and now can ride and keep up with some of the faster men in my local riding group. I really enjoy riding with the group in the paceline, feel like a get a good workout and have some other people I can talk to about cycling (something my husband doesn't want to talk about). My husband doesn't like me out riding with men, he wants me to stick with the women, which doesn't work for me because they are too slow. I've tried different groups, but they all seem to be slower and/or I don't ride well with them. I would love it if he would just come with, but his fitness level doesn't allow him to ride in groups. Am I doomed to ride alone? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to address this that will make him comfortable with my opposite gender riding partners?
