The world watched in disbelief as Pakistan-British boxer Amir Khan used Twitter and Snapchat to accuse his wife Faryal Makhdoom Khan of everything from infidelity to money-grabbing.

1
And this is the most obvious: DO NOT split up on social media!
At this stage, we are not quite sure why this even needs to be pointed out to adults.

2
Avoid name calling in public (or private)...
Especially if kids are involved, like in this case.

3
Don't drag a third person's name through the mud
Your relationship, your responsibility.

4
Don't burn your bridges in public
It makes it so much more difficult to patch up.

5
Don't be like Faryal Makhdoom Khan either!
Try the high road. It is really underrated.
