There are six types of emotional abuse, isolating, ignoring, corrupting, exploiting, terrorizing and rejecting. This applies both in relationships and child care.
Withdrawing contact for weeks or months is both ignoring and rejecting. Definitely emotional abuse.
Answer
Either this is emotional abuse or the person you are referring to is going through a depression. I don't see how the person above has definitely labeled thisi as abuse when in fact it's closer to a person with drawing and that's what usually happens when someone goes through depressions.
Either way, please don't take our word for this matter, do get your spouce to a Doctor Who can interview him or her and arrive at an answer be it abuse or depression a doctor is certainly the right person to ask.
Answer:
My answer in the first reply was incomplete. Within the realm of relationship (dating) violence, ignoring and rejecting are definite forms of emotional abuse. But there is no way to say with any certainty based on one question that this is the case here. My apologies for the lack of clarification.

How do you know if a man cheats by his sexual habits?
Sometimes the girlfriend or wife is the last to know, but often some women have an intuition (gut feeling) that the man they are with is cheating. If they once had a good sexual relationship and he seems not to be interested in his partner this mayindicate he is cheating. If the male mate was flirting or sexually teasing their partner off and on and they got along well together and suddenly he has lost interest or denies his mate any emotional or physical contact this may indicate he is cheating.

Husband cheated on me and they are still friends?
You can't work on the issues in your marriage with your husband until he's a full partner in the marriage again. This is impossible unless he ends the affair completely--which he hasn't done. An affair doesn't truly end when the sex ends, it ends when the affair partners cease contact with eachother. Keeping in contact only feeds the emotional high both parties got from the affair. Unfortunately, this also sounds like gaslighting---your husband and the affair partner are claiming to be only friends, while there is still an emotional (and possibly sexual) relationship going on without your knowledge. Your husband isn't making a choice here; he's simply hoping to keep both his marriage and his relationship with the affair partner. You need to make the best choice for yourself at this time. Privately go to an attorney, look through your finances and have an honest talk with your husband. Demand, not ask, that he make a choice---either he becomes a full partner in the marriage by going to counseling with you and completely ending contact with the affair partner (even if it means changing jobs or moving), or he needs to leave the marital residence ASAP and expect a divorce.
