Can you tell me which one is correct:
 
1) I am busy enough today without asking me to proofread your theme.
2) I am busy enough today without your asking me to proofread your theme.

I �d say this works better:

 
I am busy enough today without you asking me to proofread your theme...
 
I think both 1 and 2 lack something
 
 
 
 
goodluck

1) I am busy enough today without asking me to proof read your theme.
2) I am busy enough today without your asking me to proof read your theme.

I am busy enough today without you asking me to proof read your theme.
number two is also correct.

Actually, "...without you asking..." is wrong, but is becoming very common in the US. Your #2 is the only correct sentence of the three.
