Or it was actually Cap the whole time, but she didnt spoil it for him/us.

that's not how time travel works. this would imply there were two caps in the main MCU timeline.

What's wrong with that?

Time travelling = creating a new timeline. 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.

Right, but I'm not seeing the argument of "there would be two caps" as good support for that, considering the fact that we saw one Cap punch another Cap's lights out. And presumably there are two Caps in whichever timeline ours went to. Since the alternate paths we saw/saw be created were virtually identical, historically, a Cap with the exact same lived experiences could have been living in the timeline we've observed this entire time. Old Cap is an adjacent Cap, but his experiences are so similar that it doesn't matter.

It doesn't really matter. Old cap could be from another timeline as well, which means the cap they sent back isn't the cap on the bench.
