Best infusion set sites for new pump user?

Hello! I'm a baby diabetic, diagnosed early June this year. I recently got approved for a Tandem Mobi and I'm currently in the insurance process. I'm reading up on usage and procedure as I go along and I'm curious where everyone thinks the best infusion set sites could be, especially since I wear high waisted pants and skirts frequently and plan on hopefully having longer tubing rather than short more often. I tend to inject on my hips and thighs using pens, but I'm not sure how convenient that would be with waistbands and such getting in the way of the infusion site. Any recommendations from tubing users? Thanks!

Boyfriend (M17) won't talk to me about his mental health and I (F17) don't know how to deal with it.

Hi, reddit. My boyfriend and I were friends for about 3 years before we started dating. I love him so much and we're currently planning a long term relationship. Recently, he's had a down spot in which he's felt particularly sad. He isn't diagnosed with anything but his parents have a history of several mental health issues. I also have many issues with my mental health and have opened up to him recently. I can't get through to him that we have to talk about these things. I know I should be patient and let him open up at his own pace, but it's hard to keep up with how he's feeling any given day or know if he's lying about being fine. He's not afraid to be emotional, but says he likes to deal with his emotions on his own. Is there something I can do to help him? Is this one of those things where I can't do anything to change how it goes? I just want to know if there's any way I can make this easier on both of us, because it's tearing me apart.

I'm willing to answer questions on specifics, I just don't know what would be needed. any comment helps.
