Well, if your wife doesn't want to do it, find a cold water dive buddy. Seriously. Unless you wife would have a cow if you went diving with anyone else but her.
I know several divers where one half of a regular buddy pair doesn't like certain conditions (cold, low viz, whatever) and tries to make the person who DOES want to dive those conditions feel guilty for wanting to dive without the other. Screw that. If you want to dive certain conditions/locations, whatever, find someone else to dive those with you.
