What do you think of men who go on 'guys only' trips and vacations - including stag weekends to other countries? Would you accept this in a partner or would this be a dealbreaker for you? Could it be considered "too controlling" to insist that a partner doesn't go on any trips such as this?

I don't know. If I couldn't trust my partner to behave well in all circumstances - so also during a "guys only trip" - he wouldn't be my partner.
A HV man should decline going to a strip club during a bachelor party or other disrespectful or stupid stuff without me asking him to.
In general I don't openly "demand" anything in a relationship. I watch what he does when he has the choice and decide if I want to keep him depending on his decision.
Going on boys trips? Are they teenagers still?
What else, maybe I should also pay the bills so ha can have more money to spend on trafficked women and drugs?
I wouldn't accept it. When women take trips together we (usually) behave appropriately. We don't do horrible things that will hurt our partners - like cheating, gambling excessively, throwing money away, or spending the night in jail. Whereas men consider a holiday to be a success when these things have been done. Men act like animals when they are together. They encourage each other to be as shitty as possible because they think it's funny. So yeah, I wouldn't be trusting a man on any male-only excursion.
I wouldn't like it... If his friends are players and immature and untrustworthy, I EXTRA wouldn't like it.
You'd be surprised how much a guy's male friends will ruin your fucking life by proxy too. I need to really love them and trust them and view them as family.
Also, quite simply, if he has a bunch of dudebro friends past a certain age, that's a big nope from me too.
Why are a bunch of guys taking a trip together, anyway.... seems gay as hell to me. Think about it. Grown ass men don't do this unless they are up to super nefarious shit. I will say on the flip side, things like this seem more common outside of the U.S., but I still wouldn't like it.
Express your distaste and see if he is smart enough to keep pleasing you instead of his boyfriends (🤣). I would seriously drop him if he didn't do the right thing. Way way too many red flags.
If I were in a committed monogamous relationship with a man, this would be a dealbreaker for me.
I would never try to “control” a man by telling him not to go on guys-only trips. That would breed resentment on his end and start a tug of war I don’t want to engage in. I would just exit the relationship.
A stag weekend or any one last "blowout" before commitment is like bingeing on pizza the night before going on a diet: you still want the pizza while youre on a diet. These guys will cheat in no time. Though I always found the idea of stag and hen do's as one last night of freedom weird anyway because like... werent you commited before the wedding? And if youre going to miss being wild and "free" so much and marriage is going to deprive you of that... just dont fucking get married. But whatever, i'm done understanding people
I don't think I had ever (seriously) dated a man who was into "guy's trips" of that sort.
The idea of bachelor parties/trips disgusts me no matter what happens there. Other trips...I would have to consider the other man/men HV to consider giving my blessing and we know how likely that is.
If he's trash he's trash. They could also just be drinking in a bar.
