A lot of people believe there are lots more rights and protections in the workplace than there really are. In fact, there are very few. Your employer has violated none of them. A polite "Thank you, I don't really want to discuss it" is all you need to answer their comments and queries with. Most people are genuinely trying to be nice and give you support. Just keep your distance, do your work and do not worry about it if possible. You don't know that your boss "just told everyone," there is probably a lot of rumor and gossip going around, as there always is in a workplace. But really the issue will die down as long as you do not make a big deal of it. I have always been amazed at the level of really flat inquiry and crassness that has become acceptable in our society. It's comparable with what the paparazzi puts the celebrities through. There's no law against it, but people are incredibly rude. When I was divorcing, years ago, people would walk right up and say (on the job and off) "I hear you're getting divorced, WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM???" I'd say, 'It was a sexual issue, and I really don't want to discuss it!" That shut them down. Best wishes to you.
