What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

My boyfriend won’t tell me his past and it hurts me so I broke up with him what do I do?

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

He said he loves me, but why is it difficult for him to leave his wife?

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
