Different co tact’s on each phone

I bought an iPhone for my husband, but cannot separate my data from being copied to his and vice versa. I am trying to crate his contacts, but they are showing in my phone also. If I erase from one phone, it erases in the other also. I think i made an error when setting up and don’t know what I need to do to make these two phones of different minds.

iPhone 6s, iOS 12

How to unpair two phones I just got a new phone and to make things easier I have transferred all the data from my old iPhone onto my new one. I gave my sister my old phone but for some reason every time I add new contacts on to my new phone they add on the old one too and when I delete it from the old phone it deletes from my new phone too, it’s like the phones are paired and whatever you do to one it happens to both. How can I stop this from happening? How do I unpair the two phones?

You used the same Apple ID for both devices.

Change on of them to something else.
