The sentence is— "Her and James' life shouldn't be a topic of discussion for them." I believe that it should be she and James' and not her James'. Which version of the sentence is correct? Please help me out, thank you.

2You wouldn't say "She life shouldn't be a topic of discussion", would you? – Kate Bunting Apr 12 '21 at 09:05

1If their lives are considered separately, then hers and James' lives - if their shared life (e.g. as a couple) then her and James' life - or avoid the problem altogether by placing the name first John's and her life/lives – Michael Harvey Apr 12 '21 at 09:27

3Does this answer your question? Which is correct in this sentence: "me and my" or "my and my"? – DW256 Apr 12 '21 at 09:53

Her and James' life together ended when they got divorced; hers and James' lives were saved when they were rescued from a sinking ship; - or - James' and her life together ended when they got divorced; James' and her lives were saved when they were rescued from a sinking ship. – Michael Harvey Apr 12 '21 at 10:56

I am tempted to make a troll account to argue that, just as we say “for me” and “for her” but “for she and I”, here too it should be ”she”; and then log in as myself to downvote it. But that would be wrong. – Anton Sherwood Apr 13 '21 at 04:32

The correct form is "Her and James' life shouldn't be a topic of discussion for them". It's "Her life" not "She life".
