Yes, this.

I love Peggy a lot, and I love the general idea of Peggy/Steve for the tragedy of their story as well as the fact that despite this loss of all the could-have-beens, she still got to move on and have both an amazing career a happy personal life with a new love and children and grandchildren.

But the romantic sub-plot as executed in the first Cap movie, to me, felt forced and like it was only there because someone thought 'well, there's gotta be a romance, right?'. And that particular scene is one I hate with a burning passion, but the entire jealousy-angle from both Peggy's and Steve's side rubbed me the wrong way? Like, they clearly liked each other, and they flirted in the bar and made vague allusions to 'maybe after the war', but they were so far from being an actual couple in a romantic relationship that the jealousy was just ott from both sides (like, even if Peggy had flirted and gone on a date with Howard after they both risked a lot to drop Steve off in enemy territory, it wouldn't have been any of STeve's business? And even if Steve had kissed that blond soldier lady because he wanted to, so what? Even if they'd been together, even if they'd been married her shooting at him and putting him & others at risk would have been irresponsible as all hell, but it wasn't even that and it just bothers me a lot that when not all that long before Peggy - rightfully so - tells Colonel Phillips that she didn't help Steve 'because she had a crush' only to turn around and do something as irresponsible as that.
