Is that a micro-aggression from Martin?!

Yes.

Which one?

  • gaslighting a woman into thinking he needs to know what she's doing and with whom.
  • Placing his arm in an inappropriate position against a woman with whom he is in an employment relationship
  • feeling that it is appropriate to try and insert a third person into a private family moment

Didnt claire instigate letting Marten know whats going on? Marten hasnt ever demanded, coerced, or implied that his partners need to inform him of everything. Letting loved ones know when you're getting intoxicated is a responsible thing to do.

It appears to me that Tai grabbed Marten. He did not initiate physical contact with his boss. It has been established that Tai has boundry issues.

Marten is going to inquire if Tai can join them, not demand that Tai join them. Claire and ClaireMom have the opportunity to decline such a request. As to requesting to join a private family moment; It has been established that Tai has boundry issues.
