Elevate the hand. Immobilize if you can. Get to the doctor ASAP in the morning - don't mess with puncture wounds on the hand.

I also told him I planned on buying myself a house and that I didn't think it would be any of his business who stayed in that house with me. And he said he didn't want to be supporting some man.
Sadly, this is pretty standard. And I think it's part of the WAH handbook, to fear that somehow you are gonna hook up with some bum of a guy and he'll be somehow supporting the both of you.
It's irrational, but legally pretty standard. And it's a pain in the neck. I have a similar thing in my divorce agreement. And although I have no intentions of remarrying, for similar financial reasons - it kinda [censored] not to have the option to cohabit. (There is a standard, btw, of a certain number of nights a month - but I forget exactly how many. Maybe someone else can help with this?)
It's my understanding that it's not that you would automatically lose the alimony for cohabitating, but that the whole alimony question could be reviewed. Which, I suppose, if your boyfriend was a penniless bum, would mean your alimony would stay the same. But if your boyfriend made a decent income, there would be an argument that you no longer needed the alimony to maintain your standard of living.
And yes, it's not fair - my ex lives with his girlfriend. If you think it's really going to bother you, consider taking a lump sum of assets instead of the alimony. (Although it's such a big lump, it's not usually possible. Still - look into the options.)
