Is it ok to keep this from my family?

I'm really embarrassed to say that the other night, the police were called to a domestic row between me and my partner. An allegation of violence was made by a passerby that was completely untrue. I explained this to the police, they seemed very happy that there was no threat and no action was taken. They even said that this was very low level and that there's nothing here. I'm now just feeling really guilty as this is on our "local" police records. What is either of us needs an enhanced DBS for teaching U18s? They are able to disclose local records if they believe it to be relevant. I also feel awful because we have both agreed not to tell our parents, which I think is fair given the fact that it's personal to us both with no action taken, but it's eating away at me and I feel that my family would no longer love me if they knew. It was just a bad shouting row that unfortunately got police involvement. Please let me know it's going to be ok :(

Not sure why I assumed parents. I meant family.

This won't show up on a DBS... because there's nothing to show up.

You need to stop worrying.

How can someone think you were being dangled over a balcony and get that wrong! Something is wrong there!!

People get off on doing that kind of thing - there are hundreds of false calls put in to all three services every day.

Or perhaps it was a neighbor who wanted them to shut up and knew the Police would only attend for an escalated incident.
