So why did he start beating his wife?


Seems kinda random. All of a sudden, he says, “Come here you.” Then he viciously beats her.

What was the reason?

He was a bisexual and beat her to compensate for his inability to please here. The scene right before that he stops after attempting sex with her. Violence was a surrogate for sex.
