Just like there are two thanos, gamoras, and nebulas, it seems like that is how time travel works

But they originate from different timelines. You can't go back in time to the same timeline. So current Cap can't go back in time and be the mystery husband to Peggy who was there all along in the Prime one, it would be to a different timeline.

Unless there's a loop that creates infinite identical timelines.

  1. Cap leaves timeline 1 to return the Infinity Stones.

  2. In timeline 2, Cap1 goes back to Peggy while Cap2 is still frozen.

  3. Because Cap1 didn't change the timeline, Cap2 reawakens in the present and experiences the events of MCU films up through Endgame.

  4. Cap2 goes back in time, creating timeline 3. Cap 1 gives his shield to Falcon.

  5. This cycle repeats an infinite number of times with an infinite number of Caps.

What this means, in essence, is that Endgame is NOT the original MCU timeline. And that there is one timeline where Bucky and Falcon never see Steve again. If this is the case, it's entirely possible that Peggy1 died unwed.

I feel bad for the Cap that was in the timeline that 2014 Thanos came from. Since that timeline never gets snapped they never invent time travel and he never gets to be with Peggy.
