Your boyfriend needs to consult with his attorney. He is eligible for felony charges, such as the classs 4 felony charge of unlawful restraint.
As the victim, you have the right to communicate to the prosecutor's office, but you do not have the right to decide whether charges will or will not be filed or prosecuted. Charges of domestic violence are taken very seriously because of the statistical odds of reoffending, which are very high.
