What happens with the charge depends in part on the facts of the case and the presentation your lawyer can make about you. I am a former federal and State prosecutor and have been doing criminal defense work for over 15 years.

In other words, it will be up to the lawyer to convince the DA that a criminal record is not appropriate for you and that you will abide by the order of protection that will be issued in this case. The DA will want time to investigate the allegations and order phone records, etc. so this will not be a quick resolution. However, the fact that you haven't been in trouble in the past leans very much towards a resolution that will not leave you with a criminal record.
