On his phone, go to settings>Messages>Send and receive from. Uncheck your number on his phone. If you share the same apple ID, you also don't want both devices to send and receive from the email address or that'll cross them over too. Do the same on all devices.

Stop sharing apple id for imessage/facetime and icoud.

On his phone go to settings - message - send and receive - remove or uncheck the apple id.

Thank you! I did this. Hope it doesn't mess something else up and takes care of my problem.

The only thing in text messaging forwarding is my MacBook Pro and it was already turned off. (shoulders shrugged)
