“This is my wife” works real well
For my girlfriend, I mostly just correct people if they’re mistaken. “Oh we’re more than just friends” type statements.
Also fuck is the platonic use of girlfriend back? Dammit
Yeah, hate to break it to you, but it isn't even just women/girls using it for platonic friends. Men/boys are too.
Not too surprisingly, that hasn't happened with boyfriend that I've run across. Which is kinda fucked up when you consider what the difference in usage represents.
Personally I've only ever heard "platonic boyfriends" when it was platonic
Hm... so she calls you her wife as well, correct 🤔?
What else would she call her..?

Ghost busters!

Our government even calls us wives
IDK, just asking 🤷.
