These types of charges typically result from a phone call to police authorities during a disturbance, a visit to the home by police, and then the signing of a document by the complainant asking for the alleged offender to be dealt with by the law (often in the heat of the moment).
The police are compelled by law to remove the alleged offender from the home and turn over all evidence and statements gathered to the Prosecuting Attorney. The Prosecuting Attorney, once he has a signed complaint in hand, will not normally drop charges against the accused.
At this point, it is not girlfriend versus boyfriend; it is The People of the State of (fill-in-the-blank) versus boyfriend. The Prosecutor represents the State in a criminal matter, and the complainant has no power to withdraw the charge.
If your boyfriend or husband has been beating you, the best thing to do here is to cooperate with the Prosecutor, and have him put away. If you have not been abused in any way, and were just trying to hurt your lover, you have succeeded. There is nothing you can do to take it back.
