So in view of this, yes it does seem feasible that you've managed to fill a 138GB partition.
In the short term, you need to free up space. X won't start because there is insufficient space in /home/whatever-user and / to write session files, logs, create log files, etc, etc. Programmes generally don't run if there's no disk space.
Also your / was actually quite small considering you've no separate /usr partition... so as you install stuff, it fills up and / was about 64% when you posted last time...
Is there a way now to free up space in / ? just for short term, until I buy a extra HDD for backup-ing things

Where I can read a good manual/guide of partitioning schema
