Abnormal!: Sorry, but this would be considered neither appropriate nor normal behavior, and your husband does not require breast milk. Any child (and adult) over a few years old can receive adequate and healthful nutrition from sources other than mother's milk. It is extremely beneficial for the first part of evey baby's life, however. Beyond that it is fulfilling only for mother (and father in this case).
