Because even though the moon is actually slowly being pushed out into space, as it moves further away this slows the Earth's rotation and eventually it will pull the moon back in due to less friction by the moon on tides, as the planet speeds up again the moon will be pushed back out meaning it doesn't fly off into space because if it goes to far the Earth just pulls it back again.
