What did Job mean when he said "Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her"?

Would this action not have put the punishment of Job on his wife? This seems rather odd to me. Yes, Job would have had to watch her in servitude, but she would have suffered as well. I am confused with this train of thought.

Job 31:10

KJV - ¹⁰ Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
