Does this mean that he doesnt like talking and communicating with me?

 i agree with SleepingChrissie, communication is a big factor in an reationship, in fact the biggest. If it hurts your feelings then talk to him about it, but my best advice is next time he asks, just say it was good and nothing else then walk off and call a girlfriend and tell her about it. then if mentions somehting similar to wat happened at wrk, link it back to something that happened at work and if he looks blank then say somehting of the lines of, "Oh shuks, i was telling *Karren* about it earlier on". if not do what most men do and give short suttle answers then he's sure to get the message,but just talk to him about how this makes you feel first of allgood luk hannah

 I agree with Tadala.
Communication is a huge part in a relationship. It is also important for both people to satisfy each other needs. Let him know that he hurt you and ask him if he had a bad day.
Make sure that when you guys "talk" it isn't always about bad things or you guys will end up feeling like talking is a bad thing.
Good luck!

 Let me start off by saying, "HOW RUDE!" If he talks about his long and detailed stories in front of you, he is required to do the same for you. I would let him know how this made you feel. Maybe he had a long day too, although that is no excuse for his behavior. More than likely this is a fluke and you have nothing to worry about. If it keeps happening though, I would be concerned.
