My bf's ex has decided, after 13 months since she moved, that tonight she's going to the house and pick up her things. She has made clear that I can't be in the house while she's there, from 6.30 untill she fancies.
It was her who left him, and left him well broken, and I was there to pick the pieces and make him happy again (without thinking about going out with him, just as a friend)
She used to be ok with me before, now she (and most of their common girl-friends) hates me.
I don't care too much, I just ignore her these days, but, what is out there that you don't understand?

You are right, it's not her house to say anything, but the bf doesn't want to upset her, so I'm having tea on my own today.
At least I can do with some me time. I'll make the most of it!

He doesn't want to upset her. This is not one of the worst things he's done for her, so I think I've got used to it. At least, it doesn't happen very often.
She's depressed and very unhappy, and he tries not to make things worst.

I have been in a similar situation some years ago.
My then GF decided that ex-GF (who was breezing into my life (I hadn't changed the locks and she let herself in at 30 minutes notice) to "pick up her stuff from my place") should be made to feel unsettled and thus was performing a sex act on me when ex-GF walked in and throughout ex-GFs visit.
It felt weird for ex-GF and felt extremely uncomfortable for me: I wish that she (then GF) hadn't done it but she felt bitter and believed that the bitterness she felt was shared by me. It wasn't.

I was a major advocate against my bff's boyfriend, but I stopped myself, if being with him makes her happy then I'm happy for her

So set up a paddling pool in the living room, fill it with KY jelly and challenge her to wrestle for her things.

Your bf has to cut all contact with this girl and move on.
It is non-sensical that she can still dictate to him like this. She should have no control over him or you.
Old feelings die hard and cloud the judgement for long after the affection has died, but he must refuse these demands. If there is any real reason for her visit he must set the time and duration. Then stick to it.
Do you have the same powers? - if you ask him to come to you as soon as she has left will he come?
Does he realise this could affect his relationship with you?
Perhaps you could cultivate your own friends and introduce him to a new circle.
Enjoy your alone time, slob evenings are always good!
