Right, it actually depends on the terms of the ticket. Advance tickets, which are linked to a specific train (or sequence of trains), don't allow you to break your journey or start/end short.

apologies, this does depend on ticket type:

I've updated my comment above with more information.

Still seems counterproductive. Why would they do that?

This is true for most train tickets. Not for boat tickets though: you can get very cheap return tickets (e.g., for the ferry Portsmouth to Saint Malo v.v., but doubtless many others) that are cheaper than a single fare, and the terms and conditions include a penalty that they say they'll deduct from your credit card afterwards if you don't actually take the return leg of the trip.
If outbound then you can leave and come back in as long as it's the same day (rail days start at 4am). If it's an open return, then you have the entire month to split up and resume your journey. There's nothing to stop you getting off half way through and not returning.
Edit: Apologies, this does depend on ticket type, but should apply to most off-peak and super off peak and open return tickets:
"Break of journey is allowed on the outward and return portions of Off-Peak tickets unless otherwise indicated by a restriction shown against the ticket's validity code.
You may start, break and resume, or end your journey at any intermediate station along the route of travel on Off-Peak tickets unless the ticket restriction for the journey you are making does not allow it. If you intend to start, break and resume, or end your journey at any intermediate station, please call 03457 48 49 50 to check if it is available on your specific journey."
