resignedly
In yielding manner
Resignedly describes doing something with acceptance of an unpleasant situation you cannot change.
It conveys reluctant submission without protest: She resignedly agreed to work another weekend.
The word suggests weary acquiescence rather than active consent—you've stopped fighting what feels inevitable.
