How do I make sure I am not automatically claiming the tuition and education unused amounts from my spouse on our coupled return? He wants to carry it forward instead.

This link https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/questions/1189855-how-do-i-enter-tuition-transferred-from-my-sp... states that TurboTax will automatically claim the unused amounts on the higher income spouse’s return. (If you’re not preparing a coupled return, you’ll enter the amounts your spouse/partner is transferring to you manually.)

Unless you specifically request under the tuition transfer amount, the amounts will not be claimed on your income tax return.
