Chinese汉语 term

对Y的感情专一

Chinese汉语译成English英语 艺术/文学 其它
X是一位很有责任心的人,对Y的感情专一。

(x和y为一对初恋的恋人)

Can "faithful" be used here? I have this doubt because it seems "faithful" is often used to describe married couples.

...is committed to Y

you can say "X is faithful to Y" even though they are not married but you can also say, which perhaps is also more appropriate, "X is committed to Y"
