I think that the answer you are looking for is that being a cuckold means that Othello's wife, Desdemona, has betrayed him. She was supposed to be only for him -- the woman who would bear his children. But now she has gone and had someone else.
He says that it would have been better if God had treated him like Job -- putting sores all over him and things like that. He even says that he can take it when people point at him and laugh. But he can't deal with the fact that his wife has betrayed him.
