It comes from bear used as in "bear a burden", meaning to uphold or deal with a burden. It is asking the listener to patiently bear the burden of waiting for whatever the speaker is doing/saying.

Seems rather obvious on this one. Bearing is tolerating, with me is I don't want to suffer alone. Hence suffer along with me while I suffer also.

The meaning is a bit more broad than suffer with me while I also suffer. It is closer to asking for patience.

Example: A customer service rep on phone with a customer might say, "Please bear with me while I look up that information for you." Or if you are running late to meet someone you might say to them, "Please bear with me, I'm having a bad day."

It means "Please wait for me to get this right". Like if someone were trying to do something which was delaying you, he would say that to ask you to tolerate it and wait for him/her.
