A settled decision?

Is maturity a complete factor in decision making? Understandably, the decisions we choose from will greater as we become more mature. But does maturity absolutely settle a decision greater?

For example, in relationships, the two people who split up make a decision to keep their distance and separate out of one another lives completely. With this decision, they both seem so set in stone, but the moment a night a passes, not even a complete day, something clicks inside their minds and they make a complete turn around. From there they are talking again, buddy buddy per say, and you're the bystander whose waiting for the ship to crash again. So would you say its an immature decision on their part, when its a repeating offense, or possibly just the person running their decisions of their high emotions? Would that even be immature? To base decisions off of emotions...
Many would say that the bases of any human decision is off of emotion, because we don't know how to separate true logic from emotions, when we're currently in the situation. Humans naturally base life off of past experiences and emotions brought on by what some would call , " gut feelings" So I don't see how that would necessarily be immaturity.

If humans are naturally programmed to base life on emotions, and society sees decisions such as these as rash decisions, then how are we, as human beings, supposed to uphold a standard of maturity in these particular situations?

Just a nugget of knowledge...
please share your thoughts as well.
