Illustrator expanding artbord to bleed size on save and reopen

[#1]

When I save a job and someone else opens it in illutsrator the atboard has expanded to the bleed size then the bleed appears as an additional amount outside of the new artboard. ~has anyone else had this - what am I missing?

Does he open it in the same version of Illustrator as you saved it in?
