Well, there is a lesson to be learned in this experience for "you". Always keep in mind that whenever in a relationship with others, it's a learning experience and you have to find your way to recognizing the part you played in the relationship that may have affected how someone reacted to you.

What this individual was testing is how well you can respect his boundaries. He asked you to leave him alone for 48 hours, and you did not listen right? You said he got 30 hours which to him meant you did not want to hear him or give him space, but instead you called the amount of time.

Unfortunately, we are a lot more accessable now in that we have technology that makes us more accessable. Do people abuse that? YES!! Because what so many end up doing now is "texting" and they also tend to "post" issues on Facebook too. The problem with our technology is that it trains us to be impatient, intrude, and become entitled without realizing it. What you showed this individual is that you were not willing to leave him alone for 48 hours and you probably just had to give into texting him even when he asked you not to.

I don't know what he wanted when he asked you to tie him up in his room, perhaps he also wanted to see how you were willing to give into doing that too. What you were telling him is that you simply don't understand boundaries and you don't even have your own because you WILL tie him up. You are led too easily and you need to step back from this experience and think about what you learned and what "you" can take away from this experience that can be helpful to "you".
