It's a matter of one thing leading to another: by talking to you with his wife next to him it may cause friction between all participants e.g. jealousy, suspicion etc etc. Also, he himself may just feel uncomfortable talking to you when with his family - there are times and places for having conversations with certain people.
The ruling helps prevent suffering in the long term, so it's not a matter of him being rude. I hope that clears it up.
