He was willing to let her go back to the humans, (and Trip) and gave up the first year of living together rule when T'Pol negotiated with the family. Since you assert he has "all the power" in this mess, why should he offer to do any of this?
You ever fished? I see it as similar to that. He gives her a little space, lets her get accustomed to the marriage that she was so opposed to, then applies pressure that "requires" her presence back on Vulcan (possibly lacing it with a subtle threat toward T'Pol's mom's position.) This would especially be the case when he starts to hear the Vulcan equivalent of gossip about his marriage with that weird daughter of T'Les. So yeah, while I don't see Koss as an evil sociopath in the beginning, I can certainly see him turning dark as time passes and T'Pol does her usual passive aggressiveness that drove Trip (and me) insane.
