Let’s get it off our chests: what stupid, mundane shit makes you miss your ex?

I'm in the place we rented together, just living out the remainder of the month by myself since she left a couple weeks back. I sit down to play video games and every single one in my library is something we used to play together. Even if they were single player we'd just play them at the same time so we could talk about it and help each other. When we accomplished things in game one of us was there to congratulate the other, but now every achievement feels pointless when the room is dead silent. Our computers sat on desks that were side by side, and now when I look over it's an almost empty desk. There's just a notebook and some hair ties she must have left behind. I'll try to watch anime and it's not even a show that we watched together, but everything about it just makes me think of her. I think about how much she would like this show, and then all the other shows we watched and how much fun we had. She shared the same excitement as I did about things and our viewpoints would always be the exact same. I try to escape into these things that have always been there for me, but every escape has turned into nothing more than a reminder of the past. We shared our lives completely for years and the things that I used to do alone for my entire life just don't feel like they're mine anymore. I just end up losing motivation and laying down on my half of the bed despite having the entire thing to myself now. The extra space would be more comfortable but nothing feels right about it.
