"For a long time" is definitely correct. I was just wondering if one could use "in a long time".

That's absurd... :lol: but listen.
As I can imagine the situation according to this statement, I see the following picture.
Now you see this person every day and you sure you will be seeing her/him yet for a long time. And it must pass a long time till you won't be seeing her/him. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Got it? Don't worry - I also have a smooth comprehension of what i've said. :lol:

Context would help. 8)
I won't be seeing you in a week. (OK, but please note the context)
Pat: See you Friday.
Sam: This Friday?
Pat: No. Friday next week.
Sam: But I'm leaving for Boston tomorrow, so I won't be seeing you in a week. I'll be seeing you in two weeks. :wink:
