Two “Ge” (Of) Boyfriends

I (have) had two “ge” (of) boyfriends. The first “ge” (of) boyfriend with me (is) the same (years-)old, he last-name-is Zhang. Little Zhang is (one) “ge” (of) very famous athlete, he is tall and also handsome, (and he was) also good treating me, I loved him much, he too loved me much. But (in the) time (that is) after being-together (for) one year, we broke up, because he had very many competitions, (and he) was usually not free. So (at) that time, I usually had to (by my)self (as) one single person eat meals, (as) one single person go to the mall to buy stuff, (as) one single person watch movies, (as) one single person go to the hospital... Though this was not Little Zhang’s fault, but being together (like) this (for) long, I (was) more and more tired, our relationship too (was) more and more having-problems.

(In the) time (that is) after breaking up with Little Zhang, there was one time when I (as) one single person went travelling, (I) met one “ge” (of) boy, he exactly was my second boyfriend, Little Gao. Little Gao “comparing with” me (is) two years older, his height “comparing with” Little Zhang (is) a few centimeters shorter, (he) grows(/looks) probably not as handsome as Little Zhang, but he (is) even better treating me “comparing with” Little Zhang. We often together make meals, drink coffee, listen to music… Being together we have conversations (that) are not able to be finished talked. (After) having Little Gao, I feel (that) life (is) more fun, I too (am) more happy (now).

Now, Little Gao already is not my boyfriend (already). Why? Because he already is my husband (now).

我有两个男朋友,第一个男朋友比我一样大,他姓张。小张是一个很有名的运动员。他又高又帅,也对我好,我非常爱她,他也非常爱我。但在一起一年以后,我们分手了,因为他有很多比赛,经常没有空。所以那时间,我经常自己一个人吃饭,一个人去商场买东西,一个人看电影,一个人去医院。。。虽然这不是小张的错,但这样一起这么久,我越来越来累,我们关系也越来越有问题。

跟小张分手以后,有一次我一个人去旅游,我认识一个男孩,他就是我的第二个男朋友,小高。小高比我大两岁。他的个子比小张矮几厘米。他长得可能没有小张帅,但他对我比小张对还更好。我们经常一起做饭,喝咖啡,听音乐。。。在一起我们有说不完的话。有小高了,我觉得生活更快乐,我也更快乐。

现在,小高已经不是我男朋友。为什么?他已经我的丈夫。
