disobligingly

In unhelpful manner

In a manner that is unhelpful or unaccommodating, often with a suggestion of deliberate unwillingness.

Someone who disobligingly refuses a request doesn't just decline—they seem to take mild pleasure in not helping: She disobligingly changed the subject whenever I asked about the money.
