The same reason folks hold on to bad investments until they're worthless. You irrationally don't want to beleive it was wasted time/money and hang on in the foolish hope that it will recover and be what it once was. In the process of denial, you wind up losing everything. The ability to walk away from something before it makes a mess of you is one of the most valuable skills you'll ever develop.
