My writing was flowing and this is something that I wrote:

I pull into my parking spot, which is empty despite my having never reserved it, and get out.

I was curious as to whether this usage of the word my is grammatically correct, or whether the sentence would make sense without it?

Is me acceptable too? It doesn't seem right to me:

I pull into my parking spot, which is empty despite me having never reserved it, and get out.

I'm assuming that this is correct:

I pull into my parking spot, which is empty despite having never reserved it, and get out.

Or:

I pull into my parking spot, which is empty despite the fact that I've never reserved it, and get out.

  • @Andrew Leach♦: There's also the issue of a potential "dangling participle" in OP's version #3 (the one without *me* OR *my*), which I think doesn't arise in the linked question. – FumbleFingers Jan 07 '17 at 12:59
