Why is my iPad showing the Safari pages I have open on my iPhone?
When I go into the open Safari tabs on my iPad, the very bottom says "iPhone" and has the pages currently open on the iPhone.

I use the same apple ID for both, but I don't want to see what is open on the iPad. My fiance uses it during the day..

How do I turn this off?

Go to the iPad and go to Settings, iCloud, and uncheck Safari on the iPad.

But then Bookmarks won't sync.

I think the best solution if you need to visit websites you don't want others to see is to install Chrome.

Use Chrome when you want to, let's say, buy that secret birthday present, or without wanting to get too graphic, choke the chicken.

I think the OP's point is that the fiance is browsing Safari on the iPad, and he/she can see whatever they are doing on their iPhone.

I understood the OP's question just fine, thats why I suggested to use Chrome.

Your suggestion would also disable bookmark syncing, which he may not want to loose.
