UPDATE - I (28M) think my girlfriend (26F) of three years has COVID-19 and is testing her. I'm both scared and relieved she might have it so what do I do?

My girlfriend is currently getting tested. She has been in quarantine with me since March 12. I havent left the house since then. Everytime I go out I feel guilty because I dont want to potentially infect her. I’ve been getting all of her groceries and supplies. I’ve been cooking for her as well. She took my credit card so I had to wait until she got it to go out.<br><br>I’ve been scared that I might have infected her with COVID, especially since she is going to get tested and will potentially be quarantined at the hospital for 3-5 days if she does have it.<br><br>The reason I am both scared and relieved is because I’ve been putting my life on hold for the past couple weeks. I used to work as a personal trainer but gym closed down. I was trying to get my clients to work with me at home but I’m not sure how much longer I can do that for them. On top of that, I have been cooking for her and doing her errands. I do love doing those things for her though. I also understand that those are things that need to be done and someone needs to do it.<br><br>I’m scared to potentially lose the woman I love but I’m also kind of relieved if she does have it. I know that sounds really weird.<br><br>I’m just so scared. I don’t know what to do. I want to help her but I also want her to come back to me healthy. I’ve been trying to find ways to help her but I’m not sure how.<br><br>Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to help?<br><br>EDIT - I’ve been reading through a lot of the comments and I’m not going to be able to answer everyone. I appreciate everybody’s input and advice. Thank you all very much.<br><br>A lot of you have messaged me as well with advice. I really appreciate it all.<br><br>EDIT 2 - She has tested positive. I’m pretty upset to be honest. I’ve been in isolation with her for the past couple weeks. I’ve been cooking, grocery shopping, her cleaner than I would normally be. I have over $200 in groceries that’s about to go to waste cause I’m going to have to throw it all out cause of the fear that I may have contaminated them.<br><br>I’m pretty annoyed to be honest.
