I actually saw him as more of a potential casual wife-beater from the outset. He and Vita both seem to get roaringly drunk pretty frequently. There is also the implication that they might be swingers. And they both seem volatile enough that it would not surprise me if some physical abuse didn't come from both of them occasionally.
