dont let revenge rule you

I got into a situation with my boyfriend, and i went to the police because i was mad. I have heard of a lot of people going through these type of domestic issues but i never thought I would go that far just out of anger. I have tried to get the charges dropped, but i was told that it can only really be dropped if he says that he wants to resolve the issue when he goes to court, which in a sense is like pleading guilty even though nothing happened. He wont do this because he believes if he does they will stick him with some consequence. Short of admitting in court or giving an affidavit saying i lied against him i dont know what to do. Can this possibly be resolved without any of us getting charged? My bf strongly believes that the police will force a charge on somebody so hes basically saying I have to go say i lied and take the charge for that or he will stick with his charge and fight it out in trial (in which i will still have to testify to the truth). I just want to resolve it so we dont even have to go to trial, we have a child together and trial is a long grueling process that is going to put more strain on the family than the mistakes we both made. Please give me some advice asap.
......................and even if we go to trial and i testify a different story than i told the police can t i still get in trouble for that?

Hi: They have the right to continue to pursue the case on their own (even if you don't want them to) but if they feel this was a one-time incident and will never happen again--they may drop it. They want to make sure no abuse is continuing once you two are back together. If need be, WLD lawyers could intervene, consult with the DA about the details, and try to have the case dismissed.
