Hi there! I wrote an historical fiction novel centered around an FLR called 'The Harpy' https://www.amazon.com/Harpy-Key-Barrett-ebook/dp/B08T25PRN6/
My other stories are more femdom first, but all have aspects of FLRs.
And if you have kindle unlimited, they are all free.
For things I haven't written I would recommend Uniquely Rika.
It sounds like you already are. Labeling it doesn’t make it any more real. If D/s language tends to annoy her find ways to show your submission without any official worded conversation. Can I rub your feet / draw you a bath / cook you dinner are all easy questions. No baby/hun/my love I’ll run to the cleaners / take care of the cleaning etc you don’t need to do that can all be done without her prompting. Be a proactive partner. Anticipate her needs, take responsibility when you do something that annoys/frustrates her, and make sure to always put her as a priority. The best FLR (or just regular relationships) are based on just that whether their discussed as a D/s or not. Build on her natural tendencies.
A good book to read to understand this sort of mindset is Uniquely Rika
I'm late to this, but when is the last time you hired a babysitter for the kids and took her on a date?
I'd recommend getting something like this and taking her out for some time with just you together: https://www.amazon.com/Life-Sutra-Couples-Reconnect-Communication/dp/B07XKQ2M6R
She writes her name on me and initials. It’s in a way more initiate than a tattoo because we have to sit down have have her mark me ~3x a week. The ritual is a nice remind. And, depending on my schedule she’ll cage me at this time too.
We use this skin safe marker
Check out Surrender, Submit, Serve Her.: The definitive guide to enacting Female Leadership and embracing the Female Dominated Household. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NBNBG2F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_BBFETX9F6QCCKXA7AR9X
It’s got some good info and not focused on fetish stuff but rather navigating the day to day.
Great job to both of you!
I like your schedule. I love my FLR, focusing on her needs over mine and only achieving orgasm when she wants me to. It’s been a great journey!
As far as a cage, startwith this one. It has multiple rings so you can really get a feel for proper sizing. I then moved to a metal cage, which was too heavy for me. I now love my r/kink3d cage. It’s super comfortable. Night time erections still suck but I’m getting used to them!
I suggest reading this book together. It sounds like she’s doing this because you want her to not because she does. This can help shift the mindset to a different way of thinking. Uniquely Rika
I always share this book when these posts come up. I suggest reading it. It will adjust your mindset from “how do I fulfill my fantasy” to how can we possibly make this work together. If you truly want a FLR then these conversations need to be more about how can I make my wife’s life easier. Only she can answer that question.
Is the problem when you get an erection at night or pinching on the balls?
This is the cage I wear most of the time and it is very comfortable. They also make some longer versions if this one is to small.
I sent this book to my Lady. It’s one of the better ones and doesn’t focus on the fetish side so much as that’s the area which can weird out women.

I’ve never been in a FLR, I don’t think it would be for me, though I’ve read a lot about it.
I read this book with some interest, and I think it may give you some answers yo your question...
