Oh my goodness... Oh my goodness!! OMG! So much is happening at the same time

So for the past three to four weeks, my boyfriend(24M) and I(21F) haven't been talking much because our schedules are very busy. He works from home and is doing his honors full time, and I'm doing my second year of nursing school while working full-time so we barely get to see each other. He's also a dry texter and likes listening to me talk whenever I call him, in which 95% of the time, I'm the one initiating calls.

I have talked to him before about communication and we came to an agreement to text or call whenever we're free. So last weekend we had plans to go to an amusement park, but the plans fell through because my boss called me in last minute. However I called and explained to him the changes and that we could go this weekend instead. He seemed fine with it. At least he said he was fine with it.

However since Sunday he's been ignoring my texts and calls, which sucks because I see him at the gym in the evenings and he acts like everything is normal. And when I bring it up he says he's just busy.

So I don't know if I should keep questioning him about his behavior or just let it slide because I know his schedule is full. But I still feel like something is wrong and I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Help?

Hello ladies and period having people. So I recently started using tampons after years of only using pads and I have questions I'm too afraid to ask my mom. (She's ridiculously religious and stuff)

1. Is it supposed to hurt a little when putting it in?
2. I've been changing them out every 5 hours, but is there a specific amount of time I have to wait before changing it out?
3. What do I do if the string thingy doesn't work, like if it detaches?
4. Which brand is the best, cause I just picked the smallest one I could find.
5. Can I swim with it in, because I work in water most of the time.

That's all for now, but I'll ask more when I have more questions.

So I (21F) may have crossed the line with my (24M) boyfriend, by interacting with other guys in front of him as a sort of revenge for what he did to me. Though I knew I was overreacting and regretted it the moment I did what I did.

So last Wednesday, my boyfriend and I were on a call and he decided to tell me that he had a child he'd been keeping secret from me. We have only been dating for about six months and I had asked when we started dating if he had any kids and he'd said no. Initially I figured he was messing with me and even though he sent me a video of him and his niece, claiming it's his child. But he kept on insisting and pressing that it was his child, and I ended up believing him and got upset. Mainly because he had kept such important information from me and had essentially lied to me our entire relationship. But I know now he was messing joking.

At the time though, I hung up the call and ignored him for the rest of the day because I was too upset to even talk to him. Later at night I decided to hear him and he explained that he was joking and that he was just pranking me. On Thursday morning I thought I had gotten over it but it seemed I wasn't. And when I saw him, I got pissed all over again. We both like working out and I work at a gym for the record. So when he came to work out during my shift, I decided to be a bit friendly with one of the guys I train. I didn't go further than high fiving, giving them side hugs and getting picked up by one of the larger guys. My boyfriend has never seen me interact with most of the guys at the gym aside from me training them with a colleague of mine. And he had told me before that he wasn't the jealous type, so I purposely acted extra friendly just to piss him off.

It seems to have worked because we've barely talked this weekend aside from him telling me that what I did was disrespectful and a red flag. He said that he didn't know if he could let this go because and I had quote, "Crossed a sensitive boundary" and that he couldn't forget it that easily.

Truthfully, I also felt bad doing what I did because I'm not a confrontational person. I don't like fighting or any turmoil. This has also been our very first 'disagreement' since we've started dating, otherwise our relationship is pretty laid back and we get along easily. I've apologized plenty whenever he decides to text me and I feel like I'm only making it worse. He hasn't responded to me in 4 hours now and I don't know what to do.
