Robyn Moore and Mel Gibson: The Complete Marriage Profile
"In terms of their personalities, "Mel and Robyn had always been complete opposites," says the source. "Robyn doesn't drink and wants to have a 'dry' home for their kids, while Mel likes to goof around. Robyn has always been very strict, rigid and at many times very intimidating."

Paul Scott: "Leaving Mel linked to and pictured with no less than four women.
This must be a particularly galling development for Robyn -- especially as she has lived her life according to Gibson's religious strictures. Indeed, some suspect that the bizarre fanaticism of the actor's faith has driven a wedge between the couple ... During the period of his heaviest drinking in the Eighties and early Nineties came accusations that he indulged in a string of affairs ... Those who know the couple say that despite her low profile, it is the no-nonsense Robyn who has long been the power behind the Gibson throne ... And to begin with, at least, she kept a close eye on him. 'She let me know that she wasn't going to put up with any screwing around on my part,' Gibson said ... Gibson is said to have confided to his fellow parishioners at his church over the Easter weekend that his marriage is over. His wife, it seems, has finally tired of helping him fight his many demons."

Mel: "I'm doing well," he says.
"But how many people do you know get a DUI and are kicked around for six months? It's out of proportion. I'm not saying I wasn't at fault. Hey, we're not perfect, we're all human, get over it. I've apologized, done the right thing, now get the hell over it. I'm a work in progress."

Mel: "The whole relationship thing is tough, any time. I've been married for 22 years and people don't go that far these days. It doesn't happen. You're going to get ups and downs and you're going to get days when you really want to strangle each other. That is just going to happen. It doesn't matter who the other person is. So you might as well stay where you're at and figure it out ... People throw in the towel on relationships far too early."

Bart Mills: "Every actor has a bit of the child in him, but in Mel Gibson's case, the little boy remains the main component. That!s what makes him by all accounts such a good father -- he's actually his wife Robyn's seventh child."
