Same with telling about an incident or problem at work. My wife asks me what I think she should do about something. I answer the question and to me that is the conversation over, but no she wants to diccuss it in detail and go over everything again and again and discuss every possible approach. I realise now that is just the way women are but it used to drive me up the wall. Actually it still does but now I realise interupting to express an opinion is not necessary and just disrupts the flow of conversation.

Men relax after work, have a meal sit down watch TV whatever they don't actually want to talk about the day it is now over deal with it again tomorrow, quite frankly they don't want to talk to anybody for a while while often the wife wants to talk. Women relax by talking over everything that happened in great detail and confuse a lack of interest with disinterest in them.

When you phone him the poor guy is probably just happy to hear your voice and you want a two way dialogue when the last things he wants to do is talk about work or anything he is doing. Good sign means he can leave stress at work rather than bringing it home.
