disobliged

Declined to help

Disobliged means offended or put out by someone's failure to accommodate a request or expectation.

To disoblige is to refuse a favor or act contrary to someone's wishes: He disobliged her by declining the invitation.

The word carries a formal, slightly old-fashioned tone, suggesting mild affront rather than deep offense.
