YOU or YOUR
Which to say and is the sentence grammatical? How would you say it?
1 I'm not going to buy something for you without asking you and risk you/your not buying it back from me.
Thank you

In situations like this, "your" is formally correct but in everyday English "you" is commonly used and widely accepted. The sentence as a whole does not really make much sense to me. The first part sounds like the speaker is proposing buying the other party a gift, but this doesn't fit with the idea of the other party "buying it back".

- To fix it I'd need a better understanding of the circumstances.
