Presumably your phones will have different numbers from your telephone company. You shouldn't be getting calls on a phone with a different number. An Apple ID has nothing to do with that. However, you are right to be concerned because if you were using FaceTime or any other Apple service where an individual is defined by an Apple ID then you would both be seen as one person.
I think the document at this link should answer some of your questions about Apple IDs:

Depending upon how long you have been using a single Apple ID there may be some work involved in transferring data from one ID to a second one. You may also need to set up Family Sharing to share purchases and items you do wish to both have access to.

Look into using Family Sharing to continue to be able to use items purchased with one Apple ID with other Apple IDs.

You say "my phone" which to me implies he has his own phone, hence my though that two phones are involved. If you are sharing a phone, you cannot have two Apple IDs active on an iPhone at the same time. You could block calls being made to him on your phone but only by using methods such as you would employ to stop a telemarketer.

Normally, you can't block his calls. Apple IDs aren't meant to be shared. You might consider getting your own Apple ID.
