Once you are on a deed as an owner of a house, you do not ever lose the rights of an owner throughout your entire lifetime through mere passage of time. You lose them by a specific event.
The most common and obvious event is if you sign a document, such as a deed, that transfers your rights to someone else.
The other events that can cause you to lose your rights all involve the order of a court. While absence from the home for an extended period of time may be a factor the court considers in making the decision, there is no magic number. The court may order you to stay away from the house through a restraining order while your toothbrush is still wet. They may even order you out of the house if your estranged spouse disappeared for a year and came back and asked them to. They may not.
The answer is that there is no answer.

If the house is bought then any partner can force a sale giving
the spouse the opportunity to buy him/her out.
If there are children involved and only the husband works then
the judge can order the father to pay for accommodation etc.
I don't think there is any specific time before you lose rights to a home.
I would recommend that you speak to a solicitor.
