The only reason I decided to go was because what the coach had said and I hoped maybe my wife would ask to go with me. I can't ask her while trying to do a 180??
A 180 is nothing more than a change in yourself, opposite of things you used to think or do. 180's by the way have to be made for you and NO ONE ELSE, otherwise these changes do not last, and if they are made to impress somone they certainly won't be impressed when you start acting the way you used to.
Explain why you cannot invite her because of your 180? What was your 180? To do more things by yourself? That is actually called GAL (Getting a Life) a 180, would be more in line with: Taking classes or excercising, volunteering, actually doing housework. Things like that.
The tit-for-tat she spent $100 so I should be able to spend money will not fly very well here. We don't care and you do not need to justify to anyone here why you are spending money on yourself.
Basically, If you want to go, then you should go.

one of her many complaints is that I never planned any getaways for the two of us.
If you want to invite her, invite her.
