... what of it?

Ok, so I really like using them three periods to indicate a long pause.
Is that approprate?
I tend to use it excessively, yet I want to curb it in my story so have replaced several with commas. Although, now I am wondering if it is appropriate use to indicate a long pause.
Is that ok or is it just used when a sentence is incomplete?
Exhibit A-The long pause:
I am glad you feel that way because...I have another one.
Is that ok or do I need to stick with commas?
Exhibit B-The incomplete sentence:
I'm going to stop saying this is the last one because...
Ok?
???
