Discussion: I am a 50-year-old divorced woman with a 37-year-old divorced boyfriend who has lived in my apartment for the past 4 years. We had a lot of fights.

Many couples with age gaps, like yours, live happily. You describe a relationship primarily on a sexual basis, centered on your massive financial support, as part of the condition for the relationship. Relationships based solely on sex often don't last long. Sex often becomes routine, and without good communication, the romantic relationship also loosens. The fact that the guy doesn't have an apartment or a lucrative job only exacerbates the sense of exploitation you describe.
