How to show wife i appreciate her

My truck broke down when I was taking my wife home from surgery. Her parents picked her up and took her to our house. I rode with the tow truck company to the mechanic and then borrowed my dads car to drive home. Anyway I then realized I left my phone in the tow truck. In a panic I called my wife (from my dads phone) and asked her the number to the tow truck company.

She was confused because of anesthesia and didnt understand. I was so stressed out because it was a terrible day and I started being mean at that moment like "NO!! THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER!! JESUS!!" and then I heard her parents in the background, I was on speaker phone. They were still at my house and had heard me talk bad to her. I felt kind of exposed.

Then it got me thinking that I actually do this sometimes. I never call her names but sometimes I get stressed out about something and have a mini tantrum and say mean things. I also am not the romance type. I dont like to hug or kiss. I never tell her I love her. I dont know how to really show her that I appreciate her. Being romantic just feels cringy to me. I dont want to be an asshole to my wife but I dont know how else to show her I appreciate her.

I have been making an effort even when Im mad not to talk down to her.

    My ex never had anything good to say to me was always aggressive etc. Theres a reason he's an ex after all. I'd suggest working on your issues before it costs you your wife. Tell her what you said here and try to grow as a person.

    It might be a good start to simply tell her, face to face, what you said in your OP here.

    "I felt kind of exposed". That says it all, you were. Stop being a dick. People tend to take stuff out on those closest to them, But being she was still "Out of it, kinda"(Due to anesthesia), I am inclined to believe you bit your tongue(If you didn't, then shame on you). One can only imagine how you treat her when she isn't recovering from surgery. I get it though(To an extent). You were stressed, maybe even panicked. Start telling her how you feel a bit more. Tell her you love her. I'm not one for that type of stuff either. But if I love someone, I make sure they know(Not saying you don't, people can express their love through actions, not only words). Being you wrote this, makes me believe you feel bad about it. Which is good. Tell her you're sorry(Only if you are). Also, I'm not attacking you. I'm a dick/asshole. It takes a lot more for me to tell someone I love them, than it does for me to just bite my tongue, and blow something off. Make a date night, weekly/monthly. There is many ways you can show her you love her, through actions. You got this, bro!(Or sis? You never know, haha). Don't over think it. I wish you two the best, and her a quick recovery.
