Long story, but the upshot of it is that Galadriel was either forbidden to or refused to return to Valinor, the Uttermost West, which is Elvendom and inaccesible to mortals.
The offering of the ring by Frodo was either the ultimate temptation as Galadriel was considered to have desired dominion in Middle-Earth or her realising that she was finally weary of Middle-Earth and the ring was the final test of her willingness to stay.
