RAW fan needs help in Seattle.

Hello. I'd like to make this as brief as possible, but I don't know how brief I can make it.

I'm 28 years old, and I've been married for five months to the woman of my dreams, who out of nowhere, kicked me out and filed for divorce. Her reasons for divorce seem absurd to me. Especially since she's divorcing me after 5 months. Her lawyer even said, "I've known this family for years, and Les, she wasn't ready. She wanted to be ready, but she wasn't." That seems more clear than any other explanation I can give, other than to say that I never cheated on her, never called her a bad name, never stole from her, never yelled at her, and so on. In fact, she didn't like me smoking, so I quit smoking. She didn't like it if I drank beer, so I stopped drinking beer. I did everything she asked me to do. I will add that she lived with her extremely strict parents her whole life, (23 years,) and lived a totally different reality than me, until she moved out when we got married.

Anyway, I gave her everything I had, all my money, all my attention, etc. The bills and rent I helped pay for, I can no longer use. She has effectively rendered me homeless. So, a friend of mine in Seattle said that I could just fly up and stay with her, and so I started selling what belongings I had left, and got a plane ticket to Seattle for Christmas Eve. But evidently, she found some reason to stop talking to me out of nowhere, whether it was her ex, or her friends, or something.

So, here I sit, in Seattle, lucky enough to have found a good samaritan to give me a place to stay for a week or so, but after that, I'm on my own. I got two jobs that both start after new years.

Does anyone out there in Seattle have a couch I can crash on for a month while I pick back up my life? I can provide you any reference you need to show that I am not a criminal or a con. I just don't want to be homeless. Also, since you like Robert Anton Wilson, and I like Robert Anton Wilson, I suspect there might be some pretty good conversations.

Please let me know either by replying or emailing me at lesliehef@gmail.com

Thank you.

    Well, as embarrassing as all this seems, and as much as I didn't want to, I finally followed some advice someone gave me. I went to a church. Luckily, the guy wasn't shoving anything down my throat, and he was kind enough to listen, while I vented over the situation. He said that he would see what the church could do. So hopefully, they're going to be able to help when it comes to paying some rent, or at least finding me some temporary housing.

    I still have my fingers crossed.
