Ever since Ashley Darby had baby Dean, she hasn't left his side at all. The 'real Housewives of Potomac' star always had her baby by her side at all times, much to the dismay of some of her fellow housewives. But once post-partum depression set in, Ashley turned to her therapist for help. Her therapist then suggested the housewife indulge in activities that she enjoyed and loved prior to having her baby so that she can slowly regain her old personality and life.

Ashley decided to take her therapists' suggestion and decided that she wanted to go on a vacation, as she always enjoyed traveling. But instead of going with her husband, Michael Darby and their baby, the housewife decided to make it a girlfriends' trip and invited all her fellow housewives to join her on the vacation to Portugal. In the upcoming episode of 'RHOP', we will witness the housewives landing in Portugal for their vacation.



 

What should have been a fun and relaxing vacation, soon turns into a nightmare for Ashley. In the preview clip, we see the new mother calling Michael to see Dean before his bedtime. But when he doesn't take her calls, she gets worried and calls her friend, to check on the baby and enquire if Michael was back home. Her friend reveals that Dean was extremely tired and was feeling sleepy, and Michael wasn't home yet.

Ashley gets annoyed on hearing that Michael wasn't back home yet, and once again tries to reach out to him. He finally answers her call, and tells her that he was on his way home from a meeting. An annoyed Ashley explains to him that he should have informed their friend that he was going to get late, and also points out how she has always been the primary caretaker of Dean and put him to bed every night. Michael too gets irritated and cuts off Ashley by saying he can't do it anymore. When Ashley asks him what he's talking about, he curtly tells her that he can't stand being "molested" anymore, and hangs up on her. The housewife then breaks down and expresses that she wants to go home, as she was missing her baby. 

'Real Housewives of Potomac' Season 5 airs every Sunday at 9/8c only on Bravo.
