After a serious burnout, Daan was done with it, so he only had a part-time position instead of working fifty hours a week. But he sometimes has a hard time with the fact that his partner Saar now earns more.

He started working part-time and taking more care of our daughter. Around the same time I got a managerial position with a good salary. So that’s how the roles are now divided: I work, earn and pay more.
