A good conversation will definitely help you. It is unfair for you to push her if she does not want to ride faster. And it is unfair for her to hold you back. I ride wil husband a lot. And I can keep up with him on the flats at a very good speed, but this is not the case on the hills. Maybe I am weird, but I don't like him waiting for me especially if it is a known rout for me.
Just talk to her. She has no right to be offended if you have different cycling goals.
