"prick" means a few things in English. The first meaning is to "poke" with something sharp.
Example: "The nurse pricked his arm with a needle." or "Ow! I pricked myself on this rose's thorns!"
It is also a slang term for a penis. Usually, it is used as an insult to call someone a rude person. It is used to describe men more often than for women. If say "that guy is a prick," it means he is very rude, or he is a mean person. It is very similar to the word "dick," which is also a slang for penis, and is also used as an insult to say someone is rude.
"partner" here might mean a work partner or a relationship partner. So, "prick of a partner," probably means "a rude boyfriend/husband," or something similar to that.
