From what you write, I don't think you need to be so worried. If your boyfriend pulled out before ejaculation AND was wearing a condom, you would have been doubly protected.
Stress -- and it sounds like you are experiencing a lot of it -- plays a big part in our hormones, and our hormones control our cycles. If we are stressed out, our period can be delayed. That in itself is enough to explain your lateness.
In addition, you have had this experience before, of being late, being worried, and getting your period about 10 days late. That tells me that a late period is not something to totallly freak about.
My advice would be to breathe, to figure out if you can worry about it a little less, and to wait and see if your period comes in the next few days. If you like, you can take a pregnancy test just to ease your mind. But it soundsl ike it would be negative.
Hang in there, and don't beat yourself up with stress and worry, OK?
