I don't know how scarce jobs are in your area but in the past when bosses have tried to pull a stunt like that I quickly informed him/her that I was being polite by notifying them that I would not be coming to work that day and that it was a statement of fact and not a request. To be fair though I was raised with the attitude that "I was looking for a job when I found that one" meaning there are other jobs to be found- which may or may not be true in your area. Regardless if your honey's boss is allowed to get away with it this time it will continue to happen so best to nip it in the butt now.
As an American it's your responsibility to have your own strategic duck stockpile. You can't expect the government to do it for you.
