'since' is preferred for a period of time which starts in the past & still is continuing. And 'for' is used when something had started in the past but stopped. The answer is FOR since the action had stopped by seeing the person.

The phrase "I haven't seen you for a week" is not grammatically correct. "Since" is used to refer to a specific point in time when something began. For example, "I haven't seen you since last Monday" or "I haven't seen you since July".
On the other hand, "for" is used to indicate a duration of time. So, "I haven't seen you for a week" correctly conveys that the duration of not seeing someone is one week.

Use "FOR" when you talk about a duration of time (how long):
I haven’t seen you for a week.
He lived in Pune for 3 years.
And Use "SINCE" when you talk about a specific point in time (when it started):
I haven’t seen you since last Monday.
He has lived in Pune since 2020
I haven’t seen you for a week.
He lived in Pune for 3 years.
And Use "SINCE" when you talk about a specific point in time (when it started):
I haven’t seen you since last Monday.
He has lived in Pune since 2020
