I don't get it either. What did Marten do wrong?

This is wasted motion. Where is Dora?

I don't see how this is some big faux pas.

By agreeing that she 'had enough to worry about', he could be seen as essentially saying 'Ah, right, you've got enough issues to make up a few subscriptions'.
Not that he meant that, or that she thought he did. But it -is- Marten. Sometimes he really overthinks shit, or reads between the lines of his own words.

He just made a death-glare worthy remark to a woman well known for punching him, sometimes for no reason. Of course he's jumpy.
ASB84:
It's not a huge faux pas, but it's a bit of an awkward turn of phrase. It unintentionally implies "Yeah, you are pretty much messed up right now", or "Yeah, things really have gone to shit for you, haven't they?" It's not nasty or anything, but it probably sounded better/less callous in his head. And Marten being Marten, he's now horrified by it.
And we thought that his smoothness with Claire meant that he'd completely changed. There's our Marten!
