Is it "bear with me" or "bare with me" It's a phrase I personally don't like but we saw it written down the other day, DH asked me to point out the mistake and I couldn't because I think they spelt it correctly "bear".

Surely "bare with me" would mean lets get naked together ?

I think it's bear isn't it?

Definately "bear with me". Same as "I can't bear it".

at "bare with me" though. Sounds very sleazy that way!

"Bear" is correct. As in "I can't bear being put on hold in a long phone queue!".

Definitely 'bear'. I fear your DH might have been teasing, wanting you both to get naked.
