Both identities, regardless of sameness down to the subatomic particles comprising them, are necessarily separate entities... if only because of location.
Even in a hive, every ant is in a unique location. So too are the spoons in the factory.
However. Should YOU, the reader, ever be copied down to your finest, most minute details, but standing two feet to your left: that individual would best be recognized as YOU-2 (or B, if you like letterz and shiz). Both of you are valid existences of yourself, but both of your existences are necessarily different.
As such, no. You are not, infact, the same person. Location is a part of who we are, regardless of how utterly irrelevant in any applicable manner it may be.

And to answer your question: do you even control the one of you that you already live with?
Even if they are same people upon creation they will become different with time. They will think differently and behave differently because they will be in different environments. So they won't be same people anymore.
