Can not login anymore

[macmattias]

I have been running Manjaro Cinnamon for months now, couldn’t be happier!
Suddenly earlier this week when I get to the login and put in the right password the screen goes black, blinks and sends me right back to the login.
If I put int he wrong password it says so, this only happens when I use the correct password.

How do I solve this?
