Maybe I’m overreacting?

My husband is my concern. I’ve tried to talk to him about my concerns. Memory, irrational behavior, inappropriate decisions, he will not discuss or answer questions. His mom past of ALZ in 2022. He refused to help in any way with her care. His sister and I were there.
HOw can I get him to see a doctor. I bring it up he leaves the room or has a headache or other physical pain
Then won’t speak to me. Insults me tells me I do nothing and never did
He’s mean.
Hiding money. I don’t know what to do.
I was a caregiver for my father, my mother for four years my mother-in-law for two my sister for a year
This is very different. It’s my husband.

You are not overreacting. These are classic signs that something is wrong. Talk to your husband’s primary care physician or neurologist if he has one. You need to get cognitive testing done asap. If it is what you suspect, there is no reasoning with him. His reasoning is broken. Don’t argue with him. It will only frustrate and agitate him.
