About the placement matches...

So I feel really bad, I've only recently started to play ranked and my bf has been playing for 6 years straight and I won 3/10 games, I won like in the last games I played. He on the other hand won 8/10, with the first 7 games won and I got Silver V and he got Bronze IV... I really didn't think I would get far from Bronze V after all the lost games and now I just feel terrible because I am not even better at the game. Anyone has any idea how this happened? I can't find any explanations.

Almost everyone places right around silver 4 straight out of their first ever placement series. Your bf is likely at his correct MMR, while yours is likely over inflated due to the fact that it was virgin.

Yeah like the other post here, new accounts usually start off with silver MMR. He was likely also a victim of the soft reset since he's played before so it depends where he ended before this season began.

Don't feel too bad... I had an account where I won the first 9 games in placements, ended S3 last season but only end up with S5. This account ended G5 last season, went 6/10 and ended up placed in S5.

It can be a wacky system just work together and climb, you guys should be alright :)
