Is it Possible to recover from Humiliation?

I have been flirting quite relentlessly with my son's teacher. It has been going on for months now. I am not sure what has recently happened but I told him I have had a crush on him for quite some time. I thought most guys wouldn't mind being told they were cute. He is married and I am married and I just thought it was all fun. I told him that if he ever minded to just let me know and I would stop sending him emails. No harm. No foul. But instead of handling it like an adult and saying, :Hey I am flattered, but please back off for a while", he did the opposite. He went to the school principal and complained about me. I really would have backed off had he just asked. i am not a psycho teenager. But now I am humiliated that 2 more people now know what has been happening. I have cried for 5 days straight, and have lost 6 pounds due to stress. I work at the same school, and now my life is in jeopardy. Can anyone mess up more than that?
