Returning a Gift from Husband to Wife

Question
I am married and have sons, daughters, and grandchildren. After 27 years of marriage, my husband married another woman, abandoned me, and left the house. He moved in with the second wife and has not returned to the first house. He had written the house we own in my name before the separation, and after his marriage, he tried to reclaim the house legally, but he found no one to support him. Now he tells people that if I die, he will take the house from my children on the basis that he gave it to me. In the event of my death, does the house revert to his ownership?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: The house is yours if you truly own it and it is not registered in your name for certain reasons, and after your death it will belong to all the heirs; because you acquired the house through a gift, and a gift between spouses is irrevocable, and God knows best.
