It's not overtly explained but there are hints throughout the game at what happened. (SPOILER)They clearly got married given how prominently they mention they both had rings, but prior to the game they split up. It's not explained why they split up, though Elena mentioning several times that Drake doesn't have to prove himself to anyone, and trying to get him to not ask Sully to go on this hunt with him leads me to believe that Drake couldn't let his obsession with risking his life to find lost treasure go, though Elena probably wanted him to stop jumping headlong into danger every time the opportunity presented itself. It actually makes for what I think is one of the nicer moments of character growth for Drake in the series. At the end of the game when they're hauling the brass container out of the water there's this curiosity in not only the player, but probably in Drake as well. You want to know what this is all about and what is in the container that caused the destruction of the city and its people. But at this point Drake is past the need to satisfy his own curiosity. All he cares about is saving Sully and getting the hell out of there, so rather than see what's inside, he destroys the crane and lets it sink so the bad guys can't have it. This is punctuated again by Drake himself when he says he has nothing to prove anymore a couple of scenes later.

It actually makes me wonder if they'll ever do another sequel. There's certainly plenty left to explore in the Uncharted fiction, but there's a certain feeling of finality to this story in my mind.
