Being unable to fix his mistakes could give the protagonist some time to think about whether or not he still wants to be with someone like Emily. Obviously she has some hangups about her mother if a comment like “you look just like your mother” is enough to make her avoid him, but ghosting him for a comment that was meant to be a compliment is not a mature or reasonable thing to do. If talking things through with her doesn’t work, he may be better off looking for someone new. Someone with better communication skills.
Mistakes are how we grow and evolve as people. If we could easily fix our mistakes I believe that the learning process would not be as effective. Regret for our mistakes is what drives us not to repeat them.
R&B legend Louis Jordan in the song "Look Out": "If he says, 'Darling, you look just like your mother/better run for cover!"
I like that!
I hope the guy gets a refund.

Sometimes, it's better to roll with our mistakes. Pick ourselves up off the sidewalk and walk in a brand new direction.
I didn’t know about UTT. I am booking one right away! 😉
Given the number of mistakes I've made in my life, I think I need a subscription to UTT.
Don’t we all!
Oh no :(
He'll know better next time. ;-)

Good Story Bill, thank you.
I think so, too. Without mistakes we'd never grow and become better people. I'm glad you liked Uber on Time.
Not the expected ending! You’ve some imagination!!👍😉
Thanks Deirdre. I had fun writing Uber on Time and I'm glad you liked it.
