If you can't fly the remaining flights, I would suggest changing the dates to as far out as you can then just don't fly them. It's very unlikely that the airline will realize that you never completed the ticket, and anecdotal evidence in various FT threads confirms this.
(It's never been clear to me that the airline has the "right" to do this. I find it hard to imagine a judge in a small claims court in the UK enforcing such a claim against a consumer. To believe that such a right existed, I would want to see unambiguous wording in a contract of carriage and a history of case law supporting that such a right was actually enforceable. In any case, I have dropped dozens of sectors in my time and never once heard anything about it.)
