pigheadedly
With bullheaded resolve
Pigheadedly means in a stubbornly obstinate manner, refusing to change course despite evidence or reason: He pigheadedly insisted on taking the shortcut even after we got lost twice.
The word carries a note of exasperation—someone acting pigheadedly isn't just persistent, they're unreasonably so.
