Am I the asshole? I told my roommate not to buy my food.

So this is going to sound fucking stupid, but I'm at a point where I'm questioning my own judgement and I think I need to hear other perspectives. I just moved into a house with two other guys and I'm the only one with a girlfriend. The house is cool, but the kitchen is basically just a counter and sink on the wall with some cabinets on the side and the fridge is like a small side fridge. <br><br>The fridge is way too small for all three of us and I'm the only one that actually eats at home (my housemate eats out everyday and the other guy brings his lunch and snacks to work). <br><br>The house is a two bedroom house so it's just the two of us in the bedroom and we didn't bring any furniture into our room. I have a desk in my room but I don't really work with computers at home and I don't really eat at my desk. <br><br>I also have a dog, I don't want to bring him to work with me and my work isn't even dog friendly. I don't want to leave him in the kitchen while I'm out and I definitely don't want him in my desk. I don't eat in my room either. <br><br>I told my housemates I'm fine with splitting the rent three ways, but if I'm the only one eating at home, I don't think I should be the one buying food and it's also dangerous to leave dog food and snacks in a shared kitchen with no place to store them. <br><br>The other guy with the lunch said it's no big deal and I can store it in the fridge or on the counter and he can bring home leftovers from his meal prep and store them in my fridge. The problem is that my roommate doesn't like leftovers so he would end up buying new stuff every day. He also said that it's no big deal if I bring home food from my girlfriend and leave it in the fridge. <br><br>I don't want my food to be wasted because my roommate decided to eat it or bring home a chick and have her cook a meal. I don't trust him. I've had problems with him eating my snacks and he eats out of the dog food bowl sometimes. <br><br>The two of us already have issues and I feel like he's trying to make my life difficult. He also eats my dog's food if he knows I won't be back for a while. I'm sure he would do the same if he saw a fresh meal in the fridge and he definitely eats my snacks if he finds them in the house. <br><br>I don't think it's too much to ask to have a kitchen big enough to feed us all and not expect me to pay rent for the two of you to eat out every day or pay for your meals. He also doesn't clean the house at all. It's fucking gross because he's the only one with a car so he leaves his dirty laundry everywhere and trash and dirty dishes. He doesn't clean the bathroom at all, just wipes the seat and leaves the toilet paper on the floor. <br><br>He doesn't do any chores at all and we're splitting the rent three ways, but if he doesn't contribute anything, I think that's fair right? I don't want to move out because I like living with housemates, but I feel like this is just the beginning of the problems. I don't want to move my girlfriend in and have her be in an uncomfortable living environment. I don't trust my housemate at all. <br><br>So I told him he's on his own for food and he needs to find his own solution. He said I'm an asshole and I'm being selfish. I think I'm being realistic. <br><br>Am I the asshole?
