Welcome to iMore! The only way that would happen is if you're both signed into iTunes using the same Apple ID. Is that the case?

I rarely keep music stored locally on device so I don't have much experience with how my local stuff interacts with Apple Music. Maybe this will shed some light:

No, Apple Music is not deleting tracks off your hard drive ??unless you tell it to | iMore

I'm sure somebody else with more experience in this matter will pop in.
