It will affect you forever because now you have an arrest record that will never go away even if you are found not guilty. If you are convicted it will affect you even more. The biggest effect will most likely be a significantly diminished ability to get hired for new employment but there are other downsides as well. As far as being arrested again - if you keep assaulting people, the odds of being arrested goes up exponentially. Next time - don't involve the cops in your petty squabbles with a boyfriend unless its a real emergency. As you have seen it can backfire on you!
