"Wouldn't" for negating or restricting past habits

"Would" is used in a similar way to "used to" to talk about past habits and regular events, but can we use "wouldn't" as equivalent to "didn't use to" in some contexts?

EG

"I wouldn't go clubbing every weekend. I only went when my wife was staying with her mother."

"I wouldn't always go to Mother's when everyone else would. I preferred to visit her alone."

Yes, those examples are fine.
