Does your dog sleep in your bed? This sounds like marking to me...Especialy the thing about the boyfriend.
The bed is a location of HIGH prestige! My dog tried to claim it for himself also and I KNOW he is fully potty trained. After reducing his status in the house we have had no recurrances.

I have a crate for her which i think i'm going to have to start puting her in at night (i don't want to) but i can't have my bed getting ruined, Plus i'm getting another yorkie baby on Oct 21st and i don't want her following Ruby's mistakes.

That sounds like an EXCELLENT starting place. Begin a regiment of serious crate training now, and you will reduce a lot of problematic behaviors. I would say that this dog is not allowed to sleep on the bet anymore because it is clearly going to her head. She's trying to let your boyfirend know that he is on HER side of the bed. Crate time.
