During working hours I was the best employee, after hours we had our affair. Can his wife legally fire me from her husband's office on the grounds of because she does not want the affair going on therefore her husband has to let me go or better fire me. Is her husband allowed to do that?

Your case may be actionable on many levels. If you reported directly into the boss and there was intimacy you may have a case of sexual harassment. Furthermore, it's unclear how the wife has the power to fire, but assuming your termination has nothing to do with your job performance you may have a case of wrongful termination. There are many other fact sensitive grounds and also time sensitive triggers for filing a prerequisite EEOC and it is best to consult with an attorney that handles such matters immediately that will help you through this and preserve your rights.

I don't practice employment law but my gut is telling me you may have a case for sexual harassment and you should consult with an employment lawyer asap.

Yes. A similar case occurred within a dentist's office in Iowa but, the firing was upheld. We need to know many more details.
