A phone number can only be associated with one Apple ID at a time. If you sign in to your husband's Apple ID, data from his device would sync to your device and your data would sync to his device. If you have to monitor his Messages, add his email only to Messages/FaceTime. You can add the email as an additional email address on your Apple ID.

I know but its a trust issue that i gotta keep an eye on my husbands messages
So i was wondering if i added him underneath me would it mess up my apple ID or his apple ID and if we both could see our messages or if i could see only his ?
If you were to add his phone number to your Apple ID, then messages sent to him (to his number) would also go to your phone, as it would be treated as one of "his" devices. He would not be able to see your messages, as far as I know.
So, in short- yes, it would probably work.
Now would it work if i added his email that he uses for his apple ID underneath mine ? And would it work to switch back and forth from my apple ID to my husbands and vise versa ?
Because i tried his number last night underneath me and it would not go through his email worked but i didn't go through with it because i don't know if i would mess anything up on his end.
The email might work, but by adding his email, you're going to get any message related to his Apple ID on your iPhone. I've never done this before, so I can't say for sure of the consequences.
It's worth noting, however, that intercepting his messages without his knowledge and consent is illegal in the US (as per 18 U.S. Code § 2511).
Well im trying to do research on it most of it says you can add up to 10 people under the apple ID of one user i just don't know if it would mess up my husbands apple ID and i cant find any other way to see his text message.
iMessages are end-to-end encrypted.
They can ONLY be read on the Trusted Devices of the AppleIDs of the “sender” and intended “receiver.”
They are intentionally designed to PREVENT interception in-transit and reading by anyone else.
I don't think it would work that way. You should never share Apple IDs, as that causes a whole host of issues - Make sure that each family member has a unique Apple ID - Apple Support
Well thats thing im trying to get at is a trust issue with him so i was just wondering how it would work by monitoring just only his messages on to my phone ?.
So then would it work or no ? Because i don't want to mess anything up on his end if it won't work ?
I’d suggest trying what Eric proposed.
My post was only to provide additional background info; which might also help explain any unexpected behavior you might encounter going-forward.
So what happens if my husbands email dosent go through under me when it says email unavailable ? I tried it last night and nothing happened ?
