yes you could pass it on fast to your partner. Yes. Some people are 'asymptomatic' which means they don't have any signs. i.e a coldsore/herpes but can still be shedding the virus and be infectious. Herpes can remain dormant for years, so it is also possible your partner has had it for a long time and is only having their first outbreak now. It doesn't necessarily mean you gave it to them.
