More details to this question:
My employer gave me an ultimatum to resign or they would not give my significant other who was a vendor for the company anymore work. He had been working as a vendor for them for 6 years. He had helped me get my position with them, so had been well aware of our relationship prior to hiring me.

Yes it is legal for them to give you the ultimatum. Tennessee has the "employment at will doctrine." Research it on google.
