Obviously there is a significant amount of gray area here.
A physical affair is easier to define and identify because most people don't have sex with people they are merely friends with. However, in every friendship, each party is emotionally attached and invested to some degree. The question here is, to what degree is it crossing some invisible, subjective line in our heads?
Everyone has friends they turn to for support and advice, so I don't believe that merely confiding in someone constitutes an emotional affair. I think there has to be some kind of non-physical intimacy and personal sharing involved, but more importantly a shift in the primary emotional support in that person's life from their spouse to this other person.
