Can you tell me about a ppo/ restraining order?

ok heres the scoop... dec 27, 2010 me and my bf got into a pretty nasty fight. i filed (petitioner) for a ppo (domestic ppo) and it was granted by the judge. a copy was sent to the michigan state police and to the michigan ccw department... you are instructed also to have the ppo served to the respondant ( the person you filed it against) but i never did. i just let it go. my bf and i got back together and things were fine. my bf got pulled over by a cop for blowing a stop sign or speeding and the cop pulled up the ppo on his computer and informed my bf of it. my bf called me and flipped out. i never told him that i filed for one and it was granted because i never had it served to him and because of that i thought hed never find out and i thought that it would basically be invalid. he didnt get into any trouble but he is really upset with me and not speaking to me at all. its been almost 2 weeks. the ppo actually just expired ( june 27th, 2011). i mean i dont understand why hes so upset... obviously he did something wrong or the court would have never granted the ppo in the first place... i never had him served with papers. i never called the cops on him or reported him. he has a clean record and says that i drug his good name through the mad and i made him look bad and sound bad... i think he is over-reacting since he didnt even get introuble. we got together and therefore the ppo was useless... and he couldnt get introuble anyways becuase he ws never served and informed of the ppo and i would have to be the one to call the police on him anyways... right? i mean the ppo is expired now... but does that still mean its on his record forever? he wants to get a ccw (permit for a gun) ... will this ppo have any affect on that even though its expired? he feels like a criminal and a bad person now and he fears this ppo i had placed on him will always haunt him and stick around forever... can anyone tell me anything about this? also... what should i do about my bf? i love him and right now i am worried that we are pretty much done and over because he is so upset and hurt and angry with me... how can i explain thngs to him and make him realize that i do love him and i wasnt trying to get him in trouble? how can i assure him that things will be ok and hes not in any trouble? best answer gets 10 points! thanks!
