Thanks for the responses so far. Hopefully this post will be approved so you can read it before my response becomes obsolete.
I am being seen for depression but cannot think of discussing any problems related to low self esteem unless my therapist assumed self image issues are automatically associated with depression.
Your input is appreciated. Her comments felt strange to me but I don't know enough about "the norm" to know what it is and what it isn't and I come from a family that is pretty unemotional so wasn't sure if I was overreacting. I am a newlywed of almost one year and things are a little shaky as my wife and I adjust to each other, as my therapist knows. Maybe that is why she stated women would be lucky to have me or line up to marry me but I was still taken aback by the intimacy of her comments.
Thank you for the support.
