acceleraphobia 

Your definition is of acceleration is wrong. People do legitimately have a fear of acceleration, but such people have no fear of speed. It's simply the rate at which one arrives at that speed that causes discomfort. Therefore, someone with a fear of acceleration can quite comfortably travel at 70 mph on a motorway, but they're not going to floor the accelerator in first gear, because that's just stupid and only morons drive like that.
Travelling from 0 to 30 mph by flooring the accelerator in first gear and reving up the engine on purpose to make a noise like a complete and utter twat.

Serial Monogamist 

Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.

Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.

Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.
Person 1: Damn, Dustin already has a new girlfriend?! It's only been two weeks since he broke up with his fiance! I think he's a sociopath.

Person 2: No, he's a serial monogamist...
