AITAH for wanting more from my truck partner?

So just a back story we're both truckers and live in said truck. It's small and cramped and honestly the company just pairs two people that are somewhat close together to drive in shifts ideally 24/7.

Well we got paired up this week and while we suppose to meet up Saturday she didn't arrive till Sunday. So I missed out on work Saturday waiting. Sunday was also wasted cause she didn't arrive till 8pm. Knowing she's coming g to get me the truck is a sh!t show. Stuff thrown everywhere shoes boxes a tv...whatever. I spent about 2 hours Monday cleaning up cause I just can't live like that. There was so much stuff I literally tripped getting in on a pair of shoes. Now mind you this is all of her stuff. We're out 3 weeks at a time and she brought a mini freezer, a TV, a cooking skillet, a microwave, pouches of food...three gallons...three of water to clean her skillet...while all I have in a sleeping bag, a rolling luggage with clothes, a small duffle to carry stuff for showers and my messenger bag with a lap top. That's it. I literally buy what I need from the truck stops food wise for the day and ration it out...half a wrap here, the other there. A cup of hardboiled eggs. No she has to prepare / cook her food in the truck and it's fish (sardines and tuna) like smelly stuff. All time wasted because now we also have to go shopping for said food. I had enough and literally drove with windows down on the highway to air it out and blasted the radio to drown out the wind noise. Now I feel like an A-hole but like come on. It's a tight space, it's overwhelming your stuff and then you've got the nerve to cook smelly things too. I literally stopped taking out the trash cause its all her stuff. I eat whats mine and chuck it as I go. All I wanted to do was show what it was like to live with her if ever for a second but now I feel bad.

So AITAH?
