You can be fired for wearing a blouse which his wife thinks is ugly or inappropriate. You can be fired if his wife decides your hair color is wrong.
You can be fired for having an affair with the Boss' wife, the Boss or the Boss' parents.
Unless you are fired solely for you being a protected class, Boss did nothing illegal.
(tacky? yes. But then his wife would probably argue that the affair was tacky too - whether she's right or wrong, it's still not illegal).
