I’m getting back my own messages sent to an Android. Why?

iPhone 15Plus, update 27, this afternoon after I tried to share a link with my husband from an email, my phone started sending every text I send to him, who has a Android, back to me and by iMessage (blue), so now I’m receiving the text I sent back and he doesn’t receive it.
