As a rule, men do less talking than women. They spend less time in conversation, they use fewer words, and they talk in shorter sentences. They're to the point. Men do not tend to ring up their guy friends just for a chat; they'll ring them for a specific purpose and keep things as brief as possible. They're just wired differently to women when it comes to that.
If you're talking to your man and he doesn't seem to be responding all that much, it doesn't necessarily mean that he's angry with you, or he's upset, or something's bothering him. He might just want some quiet time. There are occasions when nothing needs to be said, and no discussions need to be had, and there's no need to fill a silence with words that don't need to be there. So long as he's not being rude and ignoring you, let him be.
