I can't bear you doing that vs I can't bear for you to do that

[JACEK1]

Hello again!

I can't bear you doing that vs I can't bear for you to do that.

I would like to ask you if the second version, namely, I can't bear for you to do that is acceptable.

"To bear" in "(Not) to bear for somebody to do something" is one of few verbs which doesn't usually take "for".

In my opinion, I can't bear you doing that and I can't bear for you to do that mean exactly the same.

What do you think?

Thank you.

They do mean exactly the same, but I would always say it as "I can't bear you doing that".

They do mean exactly the same, but I would always say it as "I can't bear you doing that".

Or "I can't bear your doing that".
