The Moon’s recession is actually strong evidence for how dynamic gravity and tidal forces are—it’s moving away from Earth at about X centimeters per year, mainly due to tidal interactions that transfer energy from Earth’s rotation to the Moon’s orbit. 

Gravity (and spacetime curvature in general relativity) is still the main framework for understanding *why* these tides and orbital motions exist, while the specifics of things like lunar recession come from how Earth and Moon interact within that gravitational relationship, so this isn’t a strike against general relativity—it’s a phenomenon it predicts and helps explain.
