Do you want to hear something desperate or not? I'm going to tell my girlfriend she should go to work today
Why do you want to tell her to go to work?
She might get fired for not showing up.
It is good for people to fulfil their responsibilities and obligations. I think you should tell her that she should show up to work so that she's not fired.
Yes we need money for food, we both need each other in these crazy times.
Responsible people are successful people. If she gets fired then where will you both be, you don't need that negativity. Tell her and then tell her the reasons why she should go too.
