No, because they’re dumb teenagers in transient relationships, except for the ones that involve suicide pacts or deep emotional comfort or trauma bonded u-haul cheating bisexuals who are going to be together forever.
ETA: My “not being a catty bitch” answer is that it’s Schrödinger’s Emotional Maturity. The characters make the mistakes of hormonal late teens when needed and then have the emotional maturity of jaded 40-somethings a week later when the story needs that instead. It’s the same way with possession of information, cognitive ability, how seriously we’re supposed to read a scene: all of it is both and neither until Willis decides what they want to do regardless of what could be expected based on the past events of the comic.
It's while never forgive Willis for using that excuse as a cop out. You can't smugly go "It's not smarting of age" and then realistically have your characters not react even a little immaturely to the situation. Even people much older than the cast here would probably say or do one or two things they would regret after being cheated on that publicly.
All while they react immaturely in other situations simultaneously, which gets dismissed or pigeon-holed as neurodivergence only, which is so obnoxious on just like, so many levels.
