unobliged
Under no compulsion
Unobliged means not under any obligation or debt of gratitude.
Someone unobliged has received no favor requiring reciprocation and remains free to act without feeling beholden: I'd rather pay full price and remain unobliged.
The word can also describe someone who has not been accommodated or helped: Her request went unobliged.
