You're making the right choice, no matter how it turns out. :)

Wellllll I told them and got the responses that I thought I'd get although not what I wanted. First my fiance. I didn't expect her to want to marry a woman when she thought she was engaged to a man. She accepts me for who I am and is extremely happy that I accept myself and had the courage to tell her. Unfortunately like I said before, she cannot bring herself to marry a woman and I completely understand. However, we will remain great friends because we have such a great relationship. It just wont be romantic anymore and if that's how I have to keep her in my life then that is ok. Now for my mom. I told her and there were just a little water works nothing crazy followed by "I kinda knew since you were young" and my reply was why the hell didn't you enlighten me lol JK I didn't say that, but she did say that I did seem different as a child and that she wanted me to come to her if there was actually something to tell her, which I can respect. SO she is really happy for me and wants to re-name me!!!! How exciting!!!! So both of them are extremely supporting of me. My fiance and I have already started discussing clothing, makeup, shaving legs, etc lol So I think we will continue to grow our relationship, just in different ways. Now that I can be who I truly am around my ex-fiance, my urge to transition has surged tremendously. The best part is, now that she knows who I am and I know that she cannot see  herself with me(yes bitter sweet), I can now make the most anticipated decision which is to get surgery to transition or HRT. I have decided HRT since I don't have to worry about how she would feel about my genitals being different. I am sooooooooo excited to talk to my therapist this week and see when I can start!!!!!!! Thank you for all of your support. I can finally express who I am and it feels great. No more being caged up when at home.

I'm glad to hear that it worked out - not 100% perfectly, but I think that's a pretty good result!  If you're happy, then you made the right choice.

Well done - you've done something extremely brave and you should be proud of yourself.  Here's to a great 2015. :)

Sorry for the late input, but wow, your story sounds pretty similar to mines!  I was never engaged, but was in a really good relationship for about the same number of years (I guess I was sorta putting off engagement because of my GID).  Anyways, you def did the right thing and I'm happy to hear that everything went pretty well!  Speaking from personal experience...things may probably be a bit rough in the beginning, but just persevere and work for your dreams/goals and you will be surprised at the results!

Alrighties, well don't wanna go on forevers soooo...Happy New Year to you, your family and everyone else here on Susan's!  Stay safe and make the most of 2015!
