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

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

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

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

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

“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.

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

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
