When Steve said that to Bucky, you knew what was coming, I knew what was coming, Bucky knew what was coming but the others clearly did not know what was coming. They were expecting Steve to return five seconds later. It came across as though Steve did not care about them.
In-universe, it made no sense for him to not tell everyone and say goodbye beforehand. What if he had died before being able to meet them again as an old man? He would be entering and creating a new reality. Anything could happen.
I also get that, perhaps Peggy recently died from old Steve’s perspective. But, really, a simple, “She was the woman I lost when I got iced,” would have sufficed (As mentioned earlier I get why, from a storytelling perspective, that he went to be with Peggy shouldn’t be said. That’s why I wished the scene ended earlier than it did). In this context, “No, I won’t tell you about her,” just seems so needless and rubs me the wrong way.
