Shared Contacts with family member

When my wife gets a new contact it goes on my iphone (which we want), but when I add a new contact it does not go in her phone (which we want also). I have made sure my apple id is set up on her phone in Settings, Contacts, Accounts.

iPhone 14, iOS 16

Contacts appear in family's phone contacts I added some new contacts to my phone, however these contacts appear in my family's member phone too. We both do not have family sharing or any family related options turned on. The only thing I have is that my family member as a SOS contact in my medical ID. My other family members with a non-iphone aka android do not get my newly added contacts in their contacts. Any guesses what can cause this?

my info in contacts settings My wife and I have different apple id's, but we share contacts with family sharing. When I set "My Info" to my contact card in contact settings on my phone, it changes the "My Info" on my wife's ipad to my card. Also happens the other way around. When my wife sets her "My Info" it changes on my phone.

In Contacts do you have more than one List into which you can store contacts? I have both iCloud and Exchange. Only the iCloud list is shared with my wife.
