This evening, I was out with my friend, and during our conversation he said, “It's very long time since we last came this far” and to which I replied, “I wish we don't do that again in the future”.
Following this we had a debate. He said, my comment, “I wish we don't do that again in the future” was wrong, and it should have been, "I wish we would not do that in the future".
Could you please tell me which sentence is correct in this context?
“I wish we don't do that again in the future” or “I wish we would not do that in the future".

I think it is simply awkward use of language and the only thing that matters is that you ended up understanding what was meant. The first time I read it, I thought you did not want to see your friend, not because it is what you said but because it was awkward.
