Those questions that made your husband feel so uncomfortable were actually what we polygraphers call "comparison" questions. They have nothing to do with the alleged infidelity. They are designed to have something to compare to the real questions about infidelity. The fact that your husband felt so uncomfortable with those comparison questions leads me to believe that there is in fact deception with regard to the real questions. When a test subject focuses more on the comparison questions than the real questions, he/she will, almost all of the time, pass the test. On the other hand, if these comparison questions had caused him no discomfort at all, he would have been shown to be more clearly deceptive.  However, you didn't give us the wording for the real questions that dealt with the allegation of infidelity.

I must be missing something here.  You wrote that:

The questions that made her husband feel uncomfortable were comparison questions.

Because her husband felt uncomfortable with the comparison questions, that leads you to believe he was being deceptive with regards to the real questions.

You believe this because when a test subject focuses more on the comparison questions he will usually pass the test.

However, if he had not felt any discomfort on the comparison questions he would have been shown to be more clearly deceptive.

It appears that if a test subject feels discomfort on the comparison questions it indicates deception.  However, if he feels discomfort on the “real” questions that also indicates deception.  You seem to be making mutually exclusive statements.  But perhaps I’m just missing something.
